Different-shaped structures on the left and right sides of the titanium body suppress standing waves, greatly reducing resonance-induced colorations. The offset front magnet carrier opens a direct, rigid path between the cantilever assembly and the tonearm headshell, quickly draining unwanted vibrations once converted into electrical signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyra remains the only cartridge manufacturer to mount the cantilever assembly directly into the cartridge body, creating a seamless mechanical link between stylus and tonearm. The Atlas λ Lambda’s narrowed mounting area increases coupling pressure for more effective energy transfer, while the meticulously machined non-parallel body surfaces further inhibit resonances through a pre-stressed, phase-interference system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cartridge continues Lyra’s yokeless dual-magnet system, diamond-coated boron rod cantilever, and long-footprint variable-radius line-contact stylus. It also employs the “New Angle” technology, which pre-biases the coils to align perfectly with the magnets during playback, ensuring uniform coil movement and equal compliance in all directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lambda suspension represents a major refinement over Lyra’s earlier designs. The tapered dampers of previous models are now separated into flat elastomer discs for damping and an independent “pillow” for cantilever pre-load. This separation allows each part to use materials ideally suited to its task, improving stability, tracking, and overall sonic transparency. These improvements apply to both single and double coil layer models, including the Atlas SL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Atlas λ Lambda is machined from a solid billet of titanium using both contact and non-contact methods, resulting in a body structure that is both visually striking and acoustically inert. The result is one of the most transparent, dynamically responsive, and tonally balanced phono cartridges ever built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium-weight, medium-compliance, low-impedance moving coil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStylus:\u003c\/b\u003e Lyra-designed long-footprint variable-radius line-contact nude diamond (3 μm x 70 μm), slot-mounted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCantilever System:\u003c\/b\u003e Diamond-coated solid boron rod with short one-point wire suspension, directly mounted via high-pressure knife-edge system\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody:\u003c\/b\u003e Machined asymmetrical titanium with synthetic composite gemstone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCoils:\u003c\/b\u003e Single layer, 6 N high-purity copper, chemically purified high-purity iron cross-shaped former\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInternal Impedance:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.52 ohm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInductance:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.9 μH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Voltage:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25 mV @ 5 cm\/sec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequency Range:\u003c\/b\u003e 10 Hz–50 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChannel Separation:\u003c\/b\u003e \u0026gt;30 dB @ 1 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompliance:\u003c\/b\u003e Approx. 12 x 10⁻⁶ cm\/dyne @ 100 Hz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMounting Screws:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.6 mm 0.45 pitch JIS standard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStylus Tip to Mounting Hole Distance:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.5 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Tracking Force:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan\u003e1.62 - 1.72g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Load (Direct MC Input):\u003c\/b\u003e 104–887 ohm (finalize by listening)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Load (via Step-Up Transformer):\u003c\/b\u003e Transformer designed for 1–3 ohm cartridge impedance, connected to 10 kΩ–47 kΩ MM-level input via short, low-capacitance cable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Tonearm:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium to medium-high mass tonearms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.6 g (without stylus cover)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lyra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52202622320824,"sku":"ATLAS-L-SL","price":15500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/files\/ALYRAATLASLMDSL__24487.jpg?v=1761851076","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/lyra-atlas-lambda-sl-moving-coil-cartridge","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
