Offset arm to straight arm
Audio Accessory Award 2019 Special Award
Offset arm to straight arm
Fidelix MITCHAKU-Z is an innovative headshell designed to easily achieve the same effect as a straight arm by simply attaching it to a curved offset tonearm.
- Simple bond structure: Adopts ``MITCHAKU structure'', which simply connects the cartridge mouthpiece and head shell over a short distance. This creates an extremely strong coupling, while at the same time creating a structure that is less likely to cause unnecessary resonance.
This innovative approach was recognized and won the ``Audio Accessory Award 2019 Special Award''.
Improved tracking performance and wide adjustment range
The MITCHAKU Z design solves the problems of traditional offset arms and contributes to improved tracking performance.
- Finely adjustable oblong hole: In order to accommodate various arm angles, the width of the elongated hole for cartridge attachment is designed to be wide. This allows you to fine-tune the mounting angle of the cartridge and drive in the optimal tracking point.
- Compatible with Technics SL-1200: If you have a problem with the Technics SL-1200 series, etc., where the arm does not move to the final groove, or if there is a possibility of interference with the stabilizer, you can solve the problem by installing the cartridge on the inner circumference side.
Improved sound quality with high-rigidity materials and PCOCCA lead wires
- Adopting PCOCCA for lead wire material: The included lead wire material includesHigh-FidelityThe material **PCOCCA (single crystal high purity oxygen-free copper)** is used to minimize signal transmission loss from the cartridge to the tone arm.
- Hard aluminum 4mm thickness: The headshell body is made of 4mm thick hard aluminum, ensuring extremely high rigidity.
[Notes on adjusting stylus pressure] This product requires the use of a digital stylus pressure gauge, but if you use the counterweight scale, the setting will be about 15% lower due to the change in equivalent mass.
MITCHAKU Z is a head shell with an extremely unique function that corrects the behavior of an offset arm to a straight arm. The level of realization of this concept and the effect of improving sound quality have been highly praised by experts.
"Stabilized tracking and dramatically reduced inner distortion."
Especially when the Z-shaped angle is attached to an offset arm, it is virtually as effective as a straight arm.Tracking on the inner circumference is stabilized, and conventional distortion is dramatically reduced.You can see evaluations in specialized magazines that say that. This makes it possible to play while maintaining the freshness and resolution of the sound until close to the final groove.
"Improved rigidity with the MITCHAKU structure and stable sound with a low center of gravity."
High rigidity due to close contact structure (MITCHAKU structure) and 4mm thick hard aluminum body material thoroughly eliminates unnecessary resonance.The muddiness of the sound disappears, and you get stable sound with a low center of gravity and sharp sound image localization.You can see the evaluation that it did.
