Michell Cusis E/H High Output Moving Coil Cartridge
The Michell Cusis E/H represents a significant advancement in the world of phono cartridges, delivering the acclaimed performance of the original Cusis E with the added versatility of high output compatibility. Specifically designed for use with moving magnet (MM) phono stages, the Cusis E/H makes high-fidelity vinyl playback more accessible to a wider range of audio setups—without sacrificing detail, musicality, or precision.
At the heart of the Cusis E/H is Michell’s refined moving coil architecture, which is shared across the entire Cusis range. A samarium-cobalt magnet is paired with pure iron to establish an ultra-stable and focused magnetic field—essential for consistent, dynamic audio reproduction.
The cartridge’s coils are carefully wound using 30μ pure copper wire on an ultra-lightweight armature, ensuring minimal mass and optimal signal generation. This assembly is mounted on a custom-engineered damper that delivers superior support to the stylus, enabling it to track grooves with extreme precision and accuracy.
Each component—from the number of coils to the body material—has been meticulously tuned to enhance the stylus assembly’s output and performance. The result is a cartridge that delivers impressive clarity, dynamic range, and neutrality even when used with standard MM-compatible phono inputs.
The aluminium chassis provides a rigid and stable structure while simultaneously minimizing resonance and unwanted vibrations. In addition, the cartridge body’s material composition, shape, and exterior textures are all optimized to eliminate mechanical noise and coloration.
Whether you’re a seasoned audiophile or upgrading your turntable setup, the Michell Cusis E/H offers a perfect balance of accessibility, technical refinement, and sonic excellence—making it an exceptional choice for anyone who demands high performance with broader system compatibility.
