Description
Vertere Dark Sabre
Introducing a revolutionary new level of musical clarity and definition. Dark Sabre builds on the success of its sister cartridge with an all-new fixing formation, single piece chassis and steeper profile for vastly optimised weight distribution and surface traction. Along with its micro-elliptical nude diamond stylus and telescopic cantilever, Dark Sabre sits among the most cutting-edge moving magnet cartridges available today.
Dark Sabre builds on the successes of its much-loved sister cartridge, Sabre, whilst simultaneously introducing a revolutionary new level of musical clarity and definition never before experienced in a moving magnet design.
Both Sabre and Dark Sabre share the same generator, but a new fixing technique and cartridge profile in Dark Sabre has allowed for a profound performance improvement on its older sibling. A quad point screw formation on a newly designed, single-piece aluminium chassis allows Dark Sabre to distribute its weight much more evenly and effectively. To complement this new design, Dark Sabre employs a steeper cartridge profile, resulting in a much more consistent contact with the vinyl surface.
Unveiling a paradigm shift in musical precision and definition, the Dark Sabre transcends expectations. Leveraging advancements from its successful sibling (Sabre MM), this cartridge boasts an innovative fixing formation, a unified single-piece chassis, and an enhanced profile for optimized weight distribution and surface traction.
Features
- Aluminum alloy body CNC precision machined from solid then hard anodized black.
- The low-mass generator utilizes an Alnico magnet with a low-mass cross coil made of purevirgin copper wires.
- The low-mass generator is mounted into the high-mass body using a Quad-Point Contactwith Four Stainless’ Spike’ Screws for optimum support and control of unwanted mechanicalvibrations.
- The body is mass-tuned to the generator for optimum support of unwanted energytransfer.
- The telescopic aluminum tube cantilever utilizing two different aluminum materials –maximizes stiffness without a massive high Q peak.
- Nude Micro Elliptical single crystal diamond stylus tip for maximum tracking ability withoutcompromising the high-frequency response or increasing surface noise.
- Square shank diamond assembly maximizes alignment precision, consistency, and rigidity.
- Alignment ridge on the front top that assists mounting Sabre to any Vertere tonearm.
- Three specifically designed contact points CNC machined into the top of the body thatprovide the exact mechanical coupling required.
- Wideband frequency response of below 14Hz to above 28kHz
- Output of 4.3mV will provide a lifelike dynamic range with depth and precision.
