Building on over five decades of innovation, the Umami Black uses a diamond cantilever and the newly developed “OKD” high-efficiency generator system. This cartridge represents the pinnacle of Hana’s “Brilliant and Gorgeous” design philosophy, delivering exceptional detail retrieval and musicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the Umami Red, the Umami Black is not a simple evolution but a complete rethinking of energy transfer and resonance control. Its diamond cantilever, rare-earth magnet, hybrid carbon armature, and hand-wound coil assembly establish a new standard in signal integrity and moving-coil engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe U-shaped (bifurcated) inverted front yoke is engineered for both mechanical resonance control and magnetic field alignment, while also providing precise support for the diamond cantilever. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is finished in a specialized Urushi lacquer, thermoset and bonded to the aluminum chassis through vapor deposition for both aesthetic beauty and mechanical damping. Every element of the Umami Black is engineered for transparency, tonal accuracy, and long-term stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenerator System:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-efficiency “OKD” moving coil with integrated pole piece and inverted U-shaped front yoke\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid diamond\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nude microline\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagnet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rare earth neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArmature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 mm square hybrid carbon–permalloy, hand-wound with 30-micron 4N copper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoil Wire:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4N (99.99%) high-purity copper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 mV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Urushi lacquer on aluminum, applied via thermosetting vapor deposition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Masao Okada-san, Excel Sound, Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51687128957112,"sku":"UMAMI-BLK","price":11500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/files\/hana-umami-black-full-view-white-background.jpg?v=1756313576","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/hana-umami-black-moving-coil-cartridge","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
