The Skyanalog P-1M
The motor is derived from the P-2, featuring a square iron coil, an aluminum cantilever, and a conical diamond stylus manufactured in Japan.
A conical diamond stylus has a rounded tip with a constant radius, providing stable contact with vinyl grooves. It's durable, easy to maintain, and delivers reliable performance, making it ideal for casual listeners despite capturing less detail than other stylus shapes.
Technical Specifications
- Conical diamond stylus with a 5 µm radius and 250 µm length
- Aluminum cantilever
- Iron plate with cross-wound coils
- Aluminum housing
- Robust plastic stylus guard
Break-in Period
Approximately 30 hours at 23°C. Packaging includes screws and an Allen key for easy installation.
Sound Character
The sound is open, airy, and flowing, with full-bodied bass that complements silky, well-articulated mids and sufficiently airy highs, suitable for jazz, acoustic genres, and light pop-rock.
Stylus Maintenance
Use a brush only for cleaning. Avoid liquids to prevent damage. Handle the stylus with care to preserve performance.
