The MY Sonic Lab Ultra Eminent bC is a moving coil (MC) phono cartridge designed by master cartridge designer Yoshio Matsudaira. It features a unique SH-μX magnetic core with higher permeability and flux density than typical MC cartridge cores, allowing fewer coil windings to minimize distortion while maintaining high output levels. This results in wide dynamic range, fast transient response, low distortion, and a high signal-to-noise ratio, delivering tremendous natural detail and clarity. The Ultra Eminent bC is known for its low source impedance and high output energy, enabling listeners to hear new layers of information in their vinyl records. It is part of the Eminent series, which focuses on natural reproduction by minimizing signal loss, internal distortion, and phase distortion. This cartridge is highly regarded for its precise sound staging and master tape-like sound quality.
