ZYX ULTIMATE AIRY
World First C-1000 Carbon Cantilever in Moving Coil Cartridge
The
ZYX Ultimate series (100, Airy, 4D, OMEGA and DYNAMIC) use a carbon
cantilever for the very first time in a moving coil cartridge. The
carbon rod is made from 1000 pieces of composite carbon fiber, hence the
name C-1000 carbon cantilever.
This composite carbon fiber is more
rigid than aluminum, iron and titanium. In addition, its specific
gravity is just half that of boron. Therefore we can be sure that the
C-1000 carbon cantilever is the ultimate and ideal cantilever material
for analogue record playback.
The carbon cantilever gives the widest
frequency range and a superior tracking performance. A further major
benefit is that the mechanical sound signal picked up at the stylus can
travel through to the coil in a straight and direct fashion by way of
the 1000 pieces of mechanical carbon lines. This ensures that reflected,
repeated or modulated mechanical sound signals are completely absent.
The overall result is that you will enjoy some of the finest, most
natural, most dynamic and true to source sound available.
Double Structure Body
By
combining non-metallic materials in the construction of the body, the
resonances occurring on the body's surface are excluded from influencing
the generator system. An additional advantage is that this method of
construction is both light and rigid.
High speed reproduction engine (magnetic circuit)
This
circuit is specially processed to null magnetic resistance within
magnetic gap, and enables high speed power generation against signals
over the entire bandwidth uniformly without time delay.
Micro-Ridge Stylus
The
stylus used in the Ultimate series has the edges of the diamond shank
set parallel to the sides of the cantilever. Using this type of stylus,
the hardest axis of the crystal is aligned to act as the contact point
with the record groove. This gives stable and smooth tracing and
produces a very refined sound, with the additional benefit of giving the
stylus an extended life of approximately 2000 hours.
The stylus is
of the Micro-ridge type, which was originally developed in Japan and
offers the highest performance. The contact radius is always 3μm by the
ridge made with 6μm thickness.
