Takumi Moving Coil Cartridge Series
The Takumi range of moving-coil cartridges is designed and hand-assembled with one clear purpose: to extract music from the groove with precision, stability, and natural tonality.
Each model follows the same core architecture - a rigid generator with square OCC coil formers, finely polished diamond stylus, and mechanically stable cantilever - yet each expresses a distinct character through its materials and geometry.
From the musical ease of the Aka to the refined clarity of the Myo, every cartridge maintains the same philosophy: quiet tracking, linear phase behaviour, and a direct, uncoloured connection to the recorded performance.
Takumi Aka MC
Technical concept:
The Aka is the entry point of the Takumi range. It uses an aluminum cantilever and bonded conical stylus, offering excellent stability and long-term reliability. Its low-impedance 5 Ω generator delivers smooth tonal balance and wide compatibility with MC stages.
Behaviour & character:
The Aka offers a classic, musical presentation. Its conical stylus sits deep and securely in the groove, maintaining excellent contact even on less-than-perfect pressings. Bass is firm and uncoloured, midrange tones are smooth and natural, and treble retains a gentle warmth. Tracking is stable and forgiving, making the Aka ideal for extended listening and broad system compatibility.
