About the Opus4
The Opus4 is the latest iteration of Grado's entry-level wooden-body phono cartridge in the Timbre Series, designed to bridge entry-level and mid-range models using advanced coil-winding and shielding techniques from higher-end cartridges. It features a maple wood housing that dampens resonant frequencies for vibrant, clear sound. Hand-built in Brooklyn, it offers high clarity across the frequency range with reduced mechanical noise. Available in high output (for MM phono stages) and low output (for MC) versions, plus mono options.
