About the Ace
The Benz Micro Ace series is a hand-built line of phono cartridges that uses a cost-saving aluminum frame and acrylic body. It spans three output variants — ACE SL (low output), ACE SM (medium output), and ACE SH (high output) — each using a Micro Ridge stylus, with the SM designed for systems and tube phono stages with gain between 45–58 dB. The series remains in current production.
