Cartridge design is no joke with our talented, imaginative Danish designers.
When they say "groovy", they're talking about the Bang & Olufsen
SP-12 cartridge and its high compliance, excellent frequency response ... and
amazing channel separation.
---They call it "groovy" because an ingenious, exclusive Micro-Cross mount for the stylus allows the solid one-piece diamond to float freely in the record groove, reach the most sensitively cut undulations. The result is crystal clear reproduction of every tone hidden in a record.
---Your hi fi dealer knows the story of Bang & Olufsen cartridges and the Micro-Cross design that is carefully created in Denmark, presently earning rave notices from European hi fi experts, and now available in the United States for the first time. Ask him about us. Or write for details now.
