Hana Umami Black Phono Cartridge

$11,500.00

Diamond Cantilever: In a category first for HANA, the Umami Black incorporates a diamond cantilever, the hardest possible material, ideal for signal transfer.
High-Efficiency "OKD" Moving Coil Generator: Another category first, the Umami Black uses the newly developed "OKD" with the world's first "Integrated Pole Piece and Rear Yoke" and Inverted U-shaped Front Yoke, optimizing energy transfer from the diamond cantilever.
Inverted U Front Yoke: The U-shaped (bifurcated) inverted front yoke is engineered for both mechanical resonance control and magnetic field alignment, while also providing precise support for the diamond cantilever.
High-Power Rare Earth Magnet: Unique to the Umami Black, the rare-earth neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnet is used in the high-efficiency generator, delivering superior energy conversion.
Hybrid Carbon Armature: A 2mm square hybrid Carbon permalloy armature, comprising 78% carbon-infused nickel-iron, is precisely hand-wound with 30-micron, 4N high-purity copper wire on Excel's proprietary machinery. This ultra-light moving coil has an output of 0.3mV at 5 ohms.
Special Urushi Enameled Finish: The HANA-Umami Black features an exquisite Urushi lacquer finish, applied through a specialized thermosetting process that bonds to the aluminum body via vapor deposition.
