It is available in high output (2 mV) and low output (0.4 mV) versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNew for the Mk II\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaster cartridge designer Masao Okada-san implements a new tapered aluminum cantilever with increased rigidity and lower effective mass at the stylus tip, resulting in a remarkable improvement in transferring groove modulation from the vinyl record to the cartridge generator. In addition, the S Series Mk II cartridges feature higher specified parts, advanced materials, and unique technical processes from Hana’s higher-priced elite cartridge models, furthering the Hana “brilliant and gorgeous” sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCritical parts, including the yoke, pole-pieces, and gold terminal pins, have been cryogenically treated for a more natural sound. The improved, non-resonant body shape, modeled after the Hana M Series, is damped with a matte Soft Feel Black elastomeric resin paint and features a brass cap with threaded cartridge mounting fittings. The heavier Mk II cartridges offer better coupling and expanded compatibility with a wider range of tonearms, improving bass and dynamics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SL MK II generator, as found in the Umami Blue and ML, incorporates an Alnico magnet and cross-coil using high-purity 30-micron copper wire with an 8Ω impedance. This improves signal-to-noise, reduces moving mass for higher resolution and trackability, and optimizes performance for a broader range of phonostages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hana S Mk II comes with a two-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nude diamond Shibata, tapered aluminum cantilever\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Level (Low, High):\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 mV, 2 mV\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance (Low, High):\u003c\/strong\u003e 8Ω, 130Ω\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Load (Low, High):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;80 Ω, 47 kΩ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;1.5 dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVertical Tracking Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrackability:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 µm\/2 g \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15-32,000 Hz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Separation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.6 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hana","offers":[{"title":"SH - High Output","offer_id":48427930779832,"sku":"HANA SH MK2","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SL - Low Output","offer_id":48427930812600,"sku":"HANA SL MK2","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/files\/Hana-SH-MK-II-Low-Res.jpg?v=1741629685","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/hana-s-series-mk-ii-mc-phono-cartridge","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
