MoFi StudioTracker: body
The MoFi StudioTracker has a grey polymer housing.
This MoFi StudioTracker cartridge has quite a unique design, you wouldn't confuse it with any other cartridge. Mind you, this can be a drawback because, owing to its design with no parallel lines, it makes it harder to adjust. But no worries, nothing a good protractor can't fix!
The gold-plated connectors are of high quality and provide perfect contact.
MoFi StudioTracker: stylus
The stylus has a great elliptical profile. It delivers great tracking, while offering a distortion-free wide frequency response (20 Hz - 20 kHz).
The generator uses two powerful and lightweight magnets (per channel) aligned with great precision. This layout delivers better separation between the right and left channel, as well as a better resolution.
