The Donatello MC cartridge uses a computer-designed body machined from aluminium, engineered to provide a rigid structure while remaining light enough for use with every tonearm. The design was developed through 2 years of continuous research.

Weighing only 7gram, it is precisely damped to support accurate cantilever tracking.
The ultra-rigid cantilever carries a high-precision Micro Elliptical diamond, developed exclusively in collaboration with Adamant-Namiki for high-quality audio performance.

As the flagship cartridge range, Donatello uses a diamond tip mechanically inserted and secured into a long, stiffened aluminium cantilever. This is held in a special titanium telescopic seat to increase structural rigidity.

Like GN top-class models, Donatello has long gold-plated pin connectors designed to connect securely with tonearm clips. This reduces energy dispersion and improves grounding, providing a quiet background for detailed music reproduction.

Donatello Red has high internal impedance and gain levels, allowing straightforward matching with an MM phono preamplifier. Donatello Gold is designed to be driven by an MC phono preamplifier without the need for a step-up transformer.

* All Donatello cartridges have a serial number indelibly printed in the engraved area at the top of the body.
