About the Premium BE Mono
The Miyajima Laboratory Premium BE Mono is a high-value, specialty mono cartridge crafted with a black ebony body weighing 10.8 grams. It features a low compliance design optimized for mono LP playback, recommended tracking force around 3.5 to 3.85 grams, and a 0.7mV output. The cartridge uses a conical stylus and is noted for its saturated, rich mono sound that excels with vintage jazz and pop mono recordings as well as modern reissues. It is more versatile across a wide range of mono recordings than comparable cartridges like the Ortofon SPU or Cadenza Mono. Installation is straightforward, and it pairs well with step-up transformers rather than active gain stages. The cartridge is designed exclusively for mono LPs and cannot play stereo or duophonic LPs without distortion or damage. It is highly regarded for its tonal saturation, clarity, and ability to reduce surface noise with slightly increased tracking force.
