Our Carmen design resolves high performance at an affordable price. A dramatic deep and wide soundstage, and ultra trackability.
The Carmen MKII was created out of the desire to make a
very high performance design at an affordable price... Just slightly lush with a well developed midrange, the Carmen MKII is surprisingly pleasing and will seduce you into late listening sessions. The stylus used is a part of what makes it special; an ultralow mass cut and polished into a true Hyper-Elliptical shape. The combination of low tip mass and the Moving Iron gives
the Carmen MKII a tremendous resolution advantage over MC designs selling for more than twice the price. Housed in our new ES DEMS body design, the Carmen MKII delivers.
