The Goldring philosophy is to promote the accurate reproduction of the original recording, maintaining the creative nuances, musicality and rhythm the artist intended you to hear. The E Series is designed to capture this experience when used with all medium to high mass tonearms found on the majority of budget to medium priced turntables. This is achieved through the use of our Magnetic Duplex Technology and Goldring Expert Adjustment. The E3 cartridge, the highest in the range features the same aluminium cantilever as the E2, but benefits from a superior bonded, super-elliptical (0.3 x 0.7 mil) stylus. This gives it superior high frequency groove detail retrieval ability over ordinary elliptical (0.4 x 0.7 mil) or spherical (0.6 mil) styli due to its smaller front to back radius. Its main effect is the reduction of sibilance, especially in high level vocal recordings Stylus radius 0.3 x 0.7 mil Transducer Characteristics Frequency range 20 Hz - 20 kHz Channel balance 1.5 dB at 1 kHz Channel separation >20 dB at 1 kHz Sensitivity 3.5 mV (1 kHz @ 5 cm/sec) Static compliance 20 mm/N Vertical tracking angle 208 Electrical Characteristics Load resistance 47 kOhm Load capacitance 100 - 200 pF Internal inductance 400 mH Internal resistance 410 Ohm Mechanical Characteristics Cartridge mass 6.9 g Fixing centres 12.7 mm (0.5 in) Playing weight 1.5 g - 2.5 g (2.0 g recommended)
