XtraX follows Vertere's hugely popular Mystic moving coil cartridge and improves upon it in every area. Lower tip mass, a stiffer, faster cantilever attached to a very low mass cross coil in a time-constant magnetic – a combination known internally as "Direct Drive" - delivers a highly musical, high definition, and powerful, engaging performance.

Representing a major leap forward in moving coil cartridge design, XtraX defies expectation at every level - from its nude diamond micro-elliptical stylus and telescopic cantilever, to its single-piece aluminium chassis and four-point generator fixing. XtraX achieves previously unattainable levels of musical connection, presence, and jaw dropping harmonic definition, bringing your music to life like never before.

• The body is precision CNC machined from solid aluminium alloy and hard anodised.
• Threaded body to accept the supplied stainless steel thumb screws for correct coupling of the cartridge body to the tonearm headshell.
• Three specifically designed contact points CNC machined into the top of the body that provide the exact mechanical coupling required.
• Alignment ridge on the front top that assists mounting XtraX to any Vertere tonearm.
• The low-mass generator utilises a Samarium-Cobalt magnet with a low-mass cross coil made of pure virgin copper wires.
• The low-mass generator is mounted into the high-mass body using a Quad-Point Contact with Four Stainless' Spike' Screws for optimum support and control of unwanted mechanical vibrations.
• The telescopic aluminium tube cantilever utilising two different aluminium materials - maximises stiffness without a massive high Q peak.
• Nude Micro Elliptical single crystal diamond stylus tip for maximum tracking ability without compromising the high-frequency response or increasing surface noise.
• Square shank diamond assembly maximises alignment precision, consistency and rigidity.
• Wideband frequency response of below 10Hz to 45kHz.
• Output of 0.45mV will provide a lifelike dynamic range with depth and precision.
