BEFORE USING
1 The stylus is very delicate and applying excessive
force to the stylus, such as finger pressure, can
result in damages. Handle the cartridge with the
utmost care.
2 A powerful magnet is used in the cartridge.
Operating steel/magnetic tools or similar items
near the cartridge will exert a force on the
magnet and may result in damages to the stylus
and the cartridge.
DONATELLO
The idea behind the Donatello MC was to design a light
cartridge that delivers top-level audio performance, a
cartridge that every tonearm can handle with precision.
After two years of research, we developed a refined
body using computer modelling and finely machined
aluminium, with a weight of only 7 grams and the ideal
damping and stiffness qualities required to achieve
superior tracking ability.
Donatello features a high-precision Micro Elliptical
diamond exclusively developed in collaboration with
Adamant-Namiki which is mechanically inserted and
locked into the ultra-rigid cantilever made of aluminium
and supported by a special titanium telescopic pipe to
increase the overall structural rigidity.
Like our flagship cartridges, Donatello features gold-
plated pin connectors designed to guarantee a perfect
connection with tonearm cinches, preserving the audio
signal and improving grounding for an optimal music
background that lets you enjoy even the smallest of
details.
The high internal impedance levels make Donatello a
cartridge that can be easily matched with any active
MM and MC phono preamp correctly set up without the
need of Step-Up transformers.
