In a conventional MM design the magnet travels with the cantilever. Nagaoka instead fixes the magnets and coils inside the body and moves a lightweight permalloy element, so there is less mass for the stylus to drag through the groove.

A magnetic flux guiding plate has been added inside the cartridge to make the magnetic circuit more efficient, increasing flux around the permalloy element at the rear of the cantilever and raising sensitivity to very small movements. That is the part of the design that governs how much low-level spatial detail survives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, the suspension.

The cartridge body is ultra-duralumin, and both the frame and the shield case carry a three-layer surface treatment — nickel plating, black tin plating, and an insulating coating — specifically to resist static build-up.

A magnetic flux guiding plate has been added inside the body to make the magnetic circuit more efficient, raising flux around the permalloy element at the rear of the cantilever and with it the sensitivity to very small movements — which is the part of the design that governs how much low-level spatial detail survives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the first time in the MP series the suspension uses a tension-wire structure with softer damping, holding the cantilever under controlled tension so that warp and eccentricity do less to change the effective tracking force through a side.

A stereo cartridge responds to vertical movement it should be ignoring, and what comes back with it is noise, crosstalk and groove damage rather than music. Nagaoka developed the MP-MONO specifically around monaural playback, applying its Moving Permalloy architecture — magnets and coils fixed in the body, a light permalloy element moving with the cantilever — to the problem. The result is aimed at the solidity, focus and directness that make a well-recorded mono pressing so persuasive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice of stylus matters more on mono than it does anywhere else, because mono records were not all cut to one standard. This cartridge ships with a 0.4 × 0.7 mil bonded elliptical diamond, the 0.7 mil geometry optimised for modern record cutting, and Nagaoka's own words for the result are a clear, well-outlined image with high resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor earlier pressings there is a second option. The JN-PMONO 1.0E replacement stylus fits this same body and carries a 0.5 × 1.0 mil elliptical diamond based on the dimensions commonly used for mono records of the 1940s and 1950s, which Nagaoka describes as reproducing thicker mid-bass and more of the air of the original.
