Benz Micro RUBY ZL & RUBY ZH
Benz Micro’s RUBY S class cartridges feature a Zebra wood body, providing a balance of bass weight and pitch definition, resulting in a arm and natural soundstage. The RUBY ZL & ZH provide the low or high output levels.
The Ruby Zebra cartridges weigh only 10.6 grams, making them ideal for a wide range of tonearms, including today’s state-of-the-arm, and older models lacking the energy control, bearing designs, or counter-weight range. Benz Micro cartridge owners have the added advantage of their trade-up programs.
