The main design behind the new Donatello MC cartridge was to engineer the best sounding cartridge of its category enabling a solid machined aluminium body, light enough to be handled by every tone-arms. The results exceeded expectations! After two years of continuous research, here is Donatello: a sophisticated, computer designed body made of machined aluminium.

Weighing only 7gram, it’s perfectly damped to help the cantilever achieve the best tracking ability.
Donatello’s ultra rigid cantilever handles a high precision Micro Elliptical diamond exclusively developed in collaboration with Adamant-Namiki and designed for top audio performance.

As our flagship cartridges, Donatello’s diamond tip is mechanically inserted and blocked into a long, stiffened aluminium cantilever, handled in a special titanium telescopic seat to increase structural rigidity.
