True Balanced compatible MM Cartridge

The new Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge is a revised version of the Pick it PRO which allows you a "True Balanced“ signal transmission. Standard MM cartridges cannot be used with a symmetrical connection, as it would result in a difference between the left and right channel. The big advantage of a balanced connection is its ability to remove picked up noise and interference.

Our "True Balanced" cable range offers you the perfect cable to connect your turntable to either the Phono Box S3 B or Phono Box DS3 B.
