About the Ebony TR
The Benz Micro Ebony TR is part of Benz Micro’s Ebony series of moving-coil cartridges, alongside models such as the Ebony L, H and others in the range. It is housed in a vented case made from aged ebony wood, a design inherited from the Benz LP that contributes to its refined tonal character. The Ebony TR is engineered specifically for use with step‑up transformers, featuring an ultra‑low output voltage of 0.1 mV and an internal impedance of 1 Ω to optimally match high‑quality MC transformers. It uses a Micro Ridge stylus with a 5 x 120 µm profile, combined with carefully wound coils and medium compliance to deliver precise tracking, high resolution and low distortion at recommended tracking forces between 1.6 and 1.9 grams.
