THE SOURCE OF Perfection in SOUND... ...tracks at one gram (or less) in stereo and discrete Pickering's engineers pursued the idea of a totally new departure in cartridge design with all the zeal of true crusaders. They had a reason . . . there was a demand for a pickup to play both stereo and discrete (as well as SQ and QS) with total and absolute precision at one gram. That they succeeded is a remarkable achievement because this cartridge successfully tracks all types of records at forces even lighter than one gram. It is a real first to do it this accurately.
The XUV/4500-Q features Pickering's patented Quadrahedral stylus assembly. The Quadrahedral stylus assembly incorporates those features that produce extended trace-Ability for 4-channel as well as stereo.
This means that it possesses not only superior performance in low frequency tracking, but also in high frequency tracing ability. When combined with the exclusive Quadrahedron stylus tip, a brand new shape, it can truly be called: "the Source of perfection in Sound", whether the playback requirement is stereo, SQ, QS, or discrete 4-channel.
above: A typical curve of the XUV/4500-Q: Shown at left is a printout graph from Pickering's testing apparatus. The top line is a frequency response curve (note that it starts at 1,000 cycles for the sake of simplicity). It depicts the unusually flat frequency response throughout the spectrum. The bottom line, which also starts at 1,000 cycles, shows the separation characteristics of this new cartridge. Believe us, you have never seen one quite like this because Pickering's exclusive new design development also makes it superior to other cartridges in the playback of stereo records, as well as discrete.
The specifications are so exciting that we hope you will write to Pickering and Company, Inc., Dept. SR, 101 Sunnyside Blvd., Plain view, New York 11803 for further information.
