The heavier S Series Mk II offers better tone-arm coupling, with expanded compatibility to a wider range of tone-arms.

The high output SH MK II MC cartridge has upgrades to enhance both the musical performance, and also to offer greater value at the S Series price point. Featuring a new tapered aluminium cantilever with increased rigidity, it significantly improves the transfer of groove modulation from vinyl to the cartridge generator. The S Series Mk II is equipped with higher-quality components, advanced materials, and innovative technical processes drawn from Hana's more premium elite cartridge models, enhancing the brand's signature "brilliant and gorgeous" sound.

Key Features - New MKII:

A new tapered aluminium cantilever with increased rigidity and effective mass reduction at the nude diamond Shibata stylus tip.
Non-resonant body shape, modelled after the Hana M series.
Damped with a matte soft feel black elastomeric resin paint.
Brass top to body for resonance reduction.
Internally threaded cartridge mounting.

Key components like the yoke, pole pieces, and gold terminal pins undergo cryogenic treatment to achieve a more natural audio experience. The redesigned non-resonant body, inspired by the Hana M Series, is coated with a matte Soft Feel Black elastomeric resin and equipped with a brass top cap and integrated threaded cartridge mounting. The heavier Mk II offers better coupling, leading to improved bass and overall dynamics, along with expanded compatibility with a wider variety of tonearms.

The SL MK II generator, found in the Umami Blue and ML models, incorporates an Alnico magnet and cross-coil design. It utilises high-purity 30-micron copper wire with an 8Ω impedance, resulting in enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and reduced moving mass. These refined design elements provide greater resolution and precision, optimising performance across a broader range of phono stages.
