The Ortofon SPU Meister A revives the original 1959 SPU design by Robert Gudmandsen, incorporating a low coil impedance concept refined over decades. It features a noble wood box body, Neodymium magnetic circuit for 75% higher output, and pure 7-nines copper armature windings. The integrated headshell mounts directly on classic tonearms like SME 3009/3012. Mr. Gudmandsen's signature is printed on the A and G models. It delivers superb high-frequency reproduction and is a perfect match for vintage setups.
