About the MC-20E2/H

The Benz Micro MC-20E2/H is a high-output moving coil phono cartridge offering approximately 2.0 mV output, designed to deliver the full palette of music including emotion and nuance at an economical price. It uses an aluminum alloy tube cantilever and an elliptical diamond stylus with a 5 x 120 µm profile, providing smooth, warm, and natural sound that appeals to music lovers looking for strong musicality rather than analytical presentation. Recommended setup includes medium to high mass tonearms and a tracking force of 2.0 g, within a usable range of 2.0–2.5 g. The cartridge is specified with a 20° vertical tracking angle, internal impedance around 32 Ω, frequency response extending roughly 15 Hz–40 kHz, and a compliance of 10 µm/mN, making it suitable for a wide range of mid- to upper-tier turntables. Benz Micro specifies an approximate 20-hour break-in period and a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects when sold new through authorized channels. This MC-20E2/H high-output variant, identifiable by its "High Output" designation, is discontinued and no longer available new, though used examples may still appear on the secondary market.
