M97xE Audiophile Elliptical Phono Cartridge

The M97xE is a superb smooth-sounding phonograph cartridge designed to provide long hours of undistorted listening, without fatiguing the ear. Its highly precise tracking ability and flat frequency response are made possible by Shure's unique Type II low-mass thin-wall aluminum alloy stylus cantilever, combined with a precision-crafted, finely polished, elliptical diamond tip.

The main features of the M97xE are its Dynamic Stabilizer damper / de-statcizer, die-cast aluminum mounting block and Side Guard stylus protection system.

With its low tracking force and 20Hz–20kHz frequency response, the M97xE delivers clean, accurate audio for the best possible reproduction of your prized vinyl collection. Since the polished elliptical diamond tip of the stylus more closely mimics the shape of a record groove, it sits deeper in the grooves of your vinyl than traditional spherical styli, allowing it to disperse its weight more evenly and reproduce parts of the vinyl that spherical styli can't reach.
