Pro-Ject Pick-It Pro Balanced MM Cartridge
The new Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge is a revised version of the Pick it PRO which allows you a 'True Balanced' signal transmission. Standard MM cartridges cannot be used with a symmetrical connection, as it would result in a difference between the left and right channel. The Pick it PRO Balanced doesn't share the shielding pin with the ground, resulting in a cleaner and truly balanced signal transmission. It is the first moving magnet cartridge that can be used in a fully balanced phono setup!
The big advantage of a balanced connection is its ability to remove picked up noise and interferences. Pro-Ject's 'True Balanced' cable range offers you the perfect cable companion to extend this balanced signal from your turntable to a balanced-compatible phono stage and amplifier.
'The key benefit of a balanced connection is its ability to remove noise and interferences picked up by the cartridge, allowing for a unblemished transfer of the audio signal. Although this is predominantly only found in moving coil cartridges, Pro-Ject have managed to incorporate this technology into their popular Pick-IT PRO moving magnet cartridge.
Whilst maintaining the lively & robust sound characteristics that the cartridge is known for, the additional benefit of having a 'True Balanced' connection provides massive benefit in any Hi-Fi system, and makes this the perfect solution for anyone wanting to pursue the Balanced concept whilst remaining inexpensive.
