Fidelix MITCHAKU-KKC - The Lightest Adhesive-Type Headshell

Next-generation model with further weight reduction, compatible with a wide range of cartridges

The MITCHAKU-KKC is a new model based on the previous lightweight type MITCHAKU-K, with the interior of the headshell carved out to the limit, achieving a weight reduction of approximately 2g. It is perfectly suited for users seeking a lightweight shell or for analog enthusiasts who want to use a wide variety of low-compliance MC/MM cartridges.
In addition, along with this weight reduction, the shell leads have been upgraded to a high-grade version, ensuring noticeable improvements in sound quality, including information content, transparency, and extension of high frequencies.

Unique seesaw structure that achieves “adhesion” — High-rigidity joint without rubber rings

The strongest feature of the MITCHAKU series is its unique seesaw structure formed by a horizontal pin placed between the upper and lower pins. This structure allows the connections between the headshell and tonearm to automatically absorb slight deviations, ensuring that the ring sections of any arm adhere uniformly.
In general, movable headshells tend to have small gaps at the connection points, and sometimes rubber rings are used to reduce looseness. However, the MITCHAKU-KKC achieves “the same high rigidity as an integrated headshell” without using any rubber rings. The tight connection minimizes energy transmission loss, enhancing the contours, speed, and three-dimensionality of the sound.

Wide soundstage and overwhelming separation produced by adhesive precision

The seesaw structure not only improves mounting accuracy but also provides direct benefits to sound quality. The precise connection drastically reduces crosstalk between the left and right channels, enhancing separation. This improves soundstage width, spatial rendering, and localization clarity, allowing the cartridge to fully demonstrate its inherent capabilities.
This is a headshell that allows you to experience the "honest, unobtrusive sound" typical of Fidelix, which has high resolution but does not lose its softness and natural nuances.

Light weight, high rigidity, and high sound quality - to the next stage of analog playback

MITCHAKU-KKC is a model that sets a new standard for Fidelix, achieving both extreme weight reduction and high rigidity due to its close-fitting structure.
From high-end cartridges to models in the popular price range, we bring out the performance of a wide range of products and take analog playback to the next level.

In addition to the standard model MITCHAKU, there are three types to choose from: MITCHAKU-K, which is compatible with high-compliance cartridges by cutting down the inside of the shell body to reduce weight, and MITCHAKU-L, a slightly longer model for those who are concerned about the head of the cartridge being installed.
