Creation of the new Calibration Standard filled a need ... the acceptance of Stanton's 681 TRIPLE-E is unprecedented!
It was no accident!
The Recording Industry needed a new calibration standard because it had been cutting discs with higher accuracy to achieve greater definition and sound quality.
So, the engineers turned to Stanton for a cartridge of excellence to serve as a primary calibration standard in recording system check-outs.
The result: the new calibration standard, The Stanton 681 TRIPLE-E. The rest is history! Major recording studios adopted it ... as did many of the smaller producers. Radio stations across the world put the 681 TRIPLE-E on all of their turntables, both for on-the-air broad casting and for disc-to-tape transfer.
And, audiophiles by their purchases have voted it the outstanding stereo cartridge available.
The Stanton 681 TRIPLE- E offers improved tracking at all frequencies. It achieves perfectly flat frequency response beyond 20 kHz. Its ultra miniaturized stylus assembly has substantially less mass than previously, yet it possesses even greater durability than had been previously thought possible to achieve.
Each 681 TRIPLE- E is guaranteed to meet its specifications within exacting limits and each one boasts the most meaningful warranty possible. An individually calibrated test result is packed with each unit.
As Julian D. Hirsch of Hirsch-Houck Labs wrote in Electronics Magazine in April, 1975: " When we used the cartridge to play the best records we had through the best speaker systems at our disposal, the results were spectacular" Whether your usage involves recording, broadcasting, or home entertainment, your choice should be the choice of the professionals ...
