Kensington Audio C-600 Moving Coil Cartridge

Kensington Audio C-600 Moving Coil Cartridge

Where Artistry Meets Absolute Precision

The C600 is the natural evolution of the C500 – introducing higher precision, improved transient speed, and a broader frequency response. It is purpose-built for enthusiasts ready to elevate their analogue front-end with greater tonal definition and spatial clarity.

Signature Features:

Boron Cantilever with Elliptical Stylus
The rigid boron cantilever provides excellent energy transfer, enhancing speed and resolution. Paired with a finely profiled elliptical stylus, it retrieves more detail from the groove with lower distortion.

4N OCC Coils
The ultra-pure copper windings reduce signal degradation and preserve harmonic richness, presenting a more transparent and three-dimensional sonic image.

Improved Output and Balance
With a 0.45mV output, 5-ohm impedance, and ~1dB channel balance, the C600 achieves high tracking accuracy and a stable stereo field.

Enhanced Frequency Reach
Extending up to 25kHz, the frequency response allows for more air, openness, and upper-end detail, revealing subtleties often masked by lesser cartridges.
