Benz Micro SLR Gullwing

The Benz Micro SLR Gullwing is an ultimate Moving Coil (MC) cartridge with a low output of 0.34 mV and is connected to the phono MC input of your amplifier.

Albert Lukaschek has outdone himself again with the new Benz Micro SLR Gullwing.

As the latest variant of its ultimate reference cartridges equipped with a real ruby ​​as a coil carrier, the Benz Micro SLR Gullwing, realized as an open ("naked") construction - without housing - is the master of its trade.

Even the wafer-thin copper wire attached to the ruby ​​plate is a stroke of genius, measuring an incredible 19 micrometers in diameter.
Only this coil wire, with only half the thickness of a human hair, allows such a low coil weight that guarantees extremely fine resolution, pure impulse reproduction and - if necessary - brutal dynamics.
Together with the other technical niceties, such as the silver-plated rhodium-plated brass support and the astonishingly solid construction, the Benz Micro SLR Gullwing plays at a previously unknown level in terms of sound.

For ambitious analogue enthusiasts, the Benz Micro SLR Gullwing is a new highlight. What are you waiting for… ?

The low output voltage (= Low Output) of 0.34mV of the Benz Micro SLR Gullwing requires connection to a low-noise Phono MC input on your (phono) amplifier.
This should provide sufficient reinforcement.
Anyone interested in this excellent pickup system probably already owns a correspondingly high-quality, powerful phono preamplifier.
This should provide sufficient amplification (= gain).
When in doubt, choose the Benz Micro SHR Gullwing. Sounds just as good with twice the output voltage.

For all music lovers who are interested in the Benz Micro LP S, but whose tonearm cannot sensibly operate cartridge systems > 15 g, the significantly lighter Benz Micro SLR Gullwing is the optimal alternative.
Constructionally identical to the Benz Micro LP S except for the wooden body.

Many tonearm manufacturers provide special counterweights for operating heavy pickup systems.
For example, the Technics SL-1200G and the SL-1210G are supplied with extra auxiliary weights of respectively 16 grams and 29 grams.

A 'naked' pickup system of the absolute reference class.
