ACOUSTIC SIGNATURE constantly look for new technology to be used in their products and push the performance of existing technology to a new level. In 2015 Acoustic Signature introduced a new series of MC cartridges to the market which was very successful. Based on this experience Acoustic Signature decided to develop a new cartridge line that pushes the level higher.

By carefully implementing new manufacturing technology and resonance control techniques for the CNC machined housing of the cartridge Acoustic Signature created this fantastic new series of cartridges called MCX series.

Acoustic Signature's Chief Designer Gunther Frohnhoefer has spent thousands of hours voicing the MCX2, and with careful attentions to stylus profile, suspension and vibration isolation, he has achieved what he believes to be the best analogue experience at this budget.

"This is a cartridge that truly punches above it's weight" - and Acoustic Signature agree with the designer !

An organic and analogue experience awaits,  with an immediacy that promotes the sublime rhythm and timing, giving a delicate yet pinpoint staging - width and depth are again truly world class, with a real three dimensional favour

High frequencies are both articulate with lovely detail retrieval, offering a clean and engaging sound.

Low frequencies have amazing depth and extension, but also critically offer huge grip and control.

Beguiling, intoxicating and luxurious, with the perfect balance of dynamic presence and drive along with a natural silky flavour, make this one Utopian cartridge.

The cartridge design itself allows for ease of installation and set-up, and a cleverly designed stylus guard keeps your investment safe whilst you install.

The MCX2 from Acoustic Signature sets genuinely new standards in what is achievable at this price point.
