Hana Unami Red Reference MC Cartridge

Hana Unami Red Reference MC Cartridge

ery high quality low output moving coil cartridge.

Umami Sound means Wonderful Taste in Music


The HANA-Umami Red hand-built MC cartridge embodies Umami, officially coined inĀ 1908 by Japanese chemist Kikunae Ikeda-san as a very pleasing or delicious flavor onĀ the palette, a synergistic effect resulting in higher taste intensity.

Hana’s Master cartridge designer Maseo Okada-san applies this concept as heĀ combines brilliant materials and classic Japanese techniques with modern audioĀ engineering to create his HANA-Umami Red MC cartridge.

The cryogenically treated MC generator features a samarium/cobalt magnet with aĀ pure-iron square plate armature, hand-wound with high purity 30-micron copper wire forĀ an internal impedance of 6Ī© and 0.4mV output.

A Nude Microline stylus is bonded to aĀ solid Boron cantilever for tracing the most delicate musical nuances from the LP.

The HANA-Umami Red exclusive Auricleā„¢ body design, mimics the shape of theĀ human outer ear to rigidly support the ā€œOpen Airā€ Moving Coil generator. It is machinedĀ from A7075 Duralumin with a multi-layered Urushi lacquer finish originating from theĀ Japanese Makie-artistic tradition, and incorporates an Ebony Wood inlay, tappedĀ mounting holes, and stylus guard.

All the major parts of the HANA-Umami Red are manufactured in house by ExcelĀ Sound with its highly trained craftsmen skillfully hand assembling each cartridge.Ā Master designer Okada-san brings over 50 years of experience to this design, applyingĀ the Umami concept of synergy with the HANA-Umami Red
