What you are buying is the mounting work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat work is not trivial. Fitting a cartridge means setting overhang, zenith and azimuth with a protractor and two very small screws, usually at an awkward angle. Nagaoka does it at the factory. Fit the shell to the arm, set the tracking force, and you are playing records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to be clear about: pre-mounted is not the same as pre-configured for your particular turntable. Tracking force, anti-skate and any arm-specific overhang setting still need checking during setup, because those depend on the arm rather than the cartridge. Total weight with the headshell is 16.5 g, which is worth confirming against your counterweight range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMP-100 cartridge factory-mounted on a genuine Nagaoka headshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits any tonearm with a standard removable SME-style headshell connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.6 mil bonded conical diamond on an aluminium-alloy cantilever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 mV output into a standard 47 kΩ moving magnet input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser-replaceable stylus assembly — genuine Nagaoka JN-P100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt in Japan by Nagaoka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e MP (Moving Permalloy) stereo cartridge, pre-mounted on a headshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 mV at 5 cm\/sec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Separation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 dB at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.0 dB or less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 mil bonded conical diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTracking Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.8 – 2.3 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Capacitance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 pF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Weight with Headshell:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.5 g (Nagaoka; the US dealer price list rounds this to 16 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Weight Alone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplacement Stylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nagaoka JN-P100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard removable SME-style headshell connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tracking force, overhang and other tonearm-specific settings should still be checked during setup — the factory mounting handles cartridge alignment in the shell, not the alignment of the shell in your arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nagaoka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48321375338702,"sku":"4967736076319","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5027\/0926\/files\/61f2023c3e2e2211df51f4161e8f0f3c114cd227.jpg?v=1788380183","url":"https:\/\/www.theingroove.com\/de\/products\/nagaoka-mp-100h-mp-series-phono-cartridge-with-headshell","provider":"The 'In' Groove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
