Hana ML phono cartridge<\/strong> is a low-output moving-coil model designed for vinyl record players. It belongs to the M Series and is the MicroLine<\/strong> version. Its one-piece diamond tip, or nude MicroLine stylus<\/strong>, has a profile resembling the cutting stylus used to produce the original record master.<\/p>\n

Who the ML version is for<\/h2>\n

Choose this model only for a system equipped with a phono stage suitable for a low-output MC signal. A load impedance of less than 100 ohms is recommended. The impedance and loading information specified for the Hana MH model does not apply to this cartridge.<\/p>\n

Stylus and magnetic system construction<\/h2>\n

The MicroLine stylus<\/strong> is fitted to an aluminium cantilever. Its profile follows the shape of the cutting tool used in the production of record masters. Accurate cartridge alignment is therefore especially important during installation. Correct geometry allows the stylus to sit in the groove as intended and should be established before the tracking force is set.<\/p>\n

The magnetic system uses an Alnico magnet<\/strong>, while the coils are wound with very high-purity copper wire. The front yoke, the centre and rear components of the magnetic circuit, and the wires receive cryogenic treatment. These parts are structural elements of the cartridge and cannot be adjusted separately.<\/p>\n

Body and mounting<\/h2>\n

The black cartridge body is made from POM<\/strong> and is combined with a brass base. POM is a hard, rigid thermoplastic with low resonance. A gold-plated copper resonance plate is integrated into the body, so it does not need to be installed as a separate accessory.<\/p>\n

Captive threaded nuts are integrated into the body<\/strong> for the mounting screws. When fitting the cartridge to a headshell, there are no separate nuts to hold in place. This makes installation easier in the confined space above the stylus, although careful handling and accurate geometric alignment remain essential.<\/p>\n

The cartridge weighs 9.5 g<\/strong>. The tonearm counterweight must be able to balance this mass and allow the required tracking force to be set. Before lowering the stylus onto a record, check the mounting, cartridge geometry and tonearm balance.<\/p>\n

Connecting it to an audio system<\/h2>\n

The correct signal path is turntable \u2192 MC phono stage \u2192 amplifier analogue input<\/strong>. You can use either a separate phono preamplifier or a compatible MC stage built into the amplifier.<\/p>\n

A conventional 47-kilohm MM setting is not the specified load for this model. The cartridge output must not be treated as a standard line-level source. It requires the gain and loading provided by a suitable low-output moving-coil phono stage.<\/p>\n

Initial setup<\/h2>\n

The recommended tracking force<\/strong> is 2 g. Set it only after balancing the tonearm and adjusting the cartridge position. For greater accuracy, use a stylus tracking-force gauge rather than relying solely on the markings of the tonearm counterweight.<\/p>\n

The stated tracking ability of 70 \u00b5m was measured at a tracking force of 2 g. This figure should therefore not be considered separately from the specified force. Cartridge compliance is 10 \u00d7 10-6<\/sup> cm\/dyn.<\/p>\n

Select a load of less than 100 ohms<\/strong> on the MC phono stage. Once the loading and mechanical setup have been completed, check that both channels are operating. Channel balance is specified at less than 1 dB, while channel separation is 30 dB at 1 kHz.<\/p>\n

Turntable placement and care<\/h2>\n

The turntable should stand on a stable, level surface. This matters when setting the tracking force and maintaining the tonearm geometry. After moving the turntable, it is worth checking the level and stylus tracking force again.<\/p>\n

During installation, protect the nude MicroLine stylus from sideways pressure. Hold the cartridge by its body rather than by the cantilever. The POM body and integrated resonance plate do not replace correct mechanical adjustment, so mounting security, alignment and tonearm balance must all be checked before use.<\/p>\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n

What kind of phono stage is required?<\/h3>\n

You need a phono stage designed for low-output MC cartridges. It must allow you to select a load suitable for this model.<\/p>\n

Can the cartridge be connected to an MM input?<\/h3>\n

A standard MM setting is not intended for direct connection of this cartridge. Use a compatible MC stage or a separate MC phono preamplifier.<\/p>\n

How do I connect it to a stereo or AV amplifier?<\/h3>\n

First pass the signal through an MC phono stage. Connect the phono stage’s line-level output to an analogue input on the stereo or AV amplifier.<\/p>\n

Will the cartridge suit every tonearm?<\/h3>\n

The tonearm must be able to balance a 9.5 g cartridge. The tonearm’s effective mass and the cartridge compliance are also important to the mechanical match.<\/p>\n

What is the correct initial setup sequence?<\/h3>\n

First mount the cartridge and align its geometry accurately. Then balance the tonearm, set the tracking force and select the appropriate load on the MC phono stage.<\/p>\n

How does the ML differ from the Hana MH?<\/h3>\n

The ML is the low-output MicroLine version. The output, impedance and loading parameters specified for the MH model do not apply to the ML version.<\/p>\n

Are separate mounting nuts required?<\/h3>\n

The captive threaded nuts integrated into the body allow the mounting screws to be threaded directly into the cartridge, so separate nuts do not need to be held in the confined mounting area. The cartridge must still be aligned geometrically with care.<\/p>\n

What warranty and replacement terms apply?<\/h3>\n

The cartridge is covered by a two-year warranty. A service is also available for exchanging an old or damaged cartridge for a new one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
