The appeal of mono being re-evaluated
In recent years, the power of mono sound sources and the clarity of sound images have been renewed, and masterpiece albums have been reprinted one after another.
In order to maximize the appeal of mono discs, Nagaoka has developed special cartridges "MP-MONO" and "MP-MONO 1.0E".

The individuality of sound created by the difference in stylus tips

- MP-MONO: Standard with a 0.7 mil stylus tip optimized for modern record cutting. It delivers contoured, clear sound images and high-resolution reproduction.
- MP-MONO 1.0E: Equipped with a 1.0 mil stylus chip that was mainstream for mono playback in the 1940s and 50s as standard. This model reproduces thick mid-bass and atmosphere, and pursues a more original mono experience.

Nagaoka's commitment
Particular about the sound field and atmosphere of the era when mono records were commonplace, with playback with a 1.0 mil stylus
It revives the real sound world of that time to the present day.
We are working hard to create products so that people can feel the connection between people through music.

Please experience the overwhelming mono reproduction that Nagaoka is proud of.
