The SPU Royal G MkII provides a playback experience embodying the essence of analog, with generous refinements to bring the legendary SPU cartridges into the realm of unrivaled perfection.

Ortofon’s unique Replicant 100 stylus with reduced tip mass ensures open and detailed sound reproduction for a purely exquisite listening experience.
Electrum coils, consisting of a gold and silver alloy, provide uncolored and precise transmission of armature movements while the slightly modified damping system makes it possible to reduce VTF and achieve a higher level of linearity.
