A moving coil type cartridge is a transducer that generates a current proportional to the coil’s vibration speed, induced by the stylus tracking a record’s grooves. For high-quality sound reproduction, the magnetic flux density in the coil’s magnetic field must remain uniform.

In widely-used moving coil cartridges, the bobbin, made from high-permeability material, reacts strongly to the magnetic field, producing a signal six times stronger than non-magnetic bobbins. This allows fewer coil turns and reduces the vibration system’s mass, enabling wideband reproduction.

However, using a magnetic bobbin can disturb the magnetic field, affecting stereo sound reproduction. The offset positioning of the left and right channel coils causes each to generate signals in slightly different magnetic fields. To resolve this, ZYX developed a ‘one-point ground terminal, dual output system,’ ensuring both coils generate electricity in the same magnetic field, even if disturbed.

This innovation, implemented in the Ultimate Exceed models, results in clearer, more natural sound reproduction with precise transients and localization, enhancing the experience of live musical events.

Specially Rigid Black Aluminum Cantilever

Aluminum typically produces a very natural sound, but it struggles with high-frequency reproduction. To achieve both its characteristic natural sound and wide-range reproduction, the R50 Bloom 3 features a newly developed, rigid aluminum cantilever for the first time.

Cartridge Case for REAL STEREO

Vital design points 11, 12, and 13 place complex demands on the electrical properties of the cartridge body. A non-metallic body is necessary to meet these requirements, preventing external disturbances from influencing the generator system and eliminating eddy currents that could affect the generator's output signal.

Stylus

The stylus in the Exceed R50 Bloom is a line-contact type, capable of playback up to 40 kHz. The edges of the diamond shank are set parallel to the sides of the cantilever. This alignment ensures that the hardest axis of the crystal contacts the record groove, resulting in stable, smooth tracing, refined sound, and extended stylus life.

Super High-Speed Reproduction Engine (Magnetic Circuit)

This magnetic circuit is specially processed to eliminate magnetic resistance within the magnetic gap, enabling high-speed power generation across the entire bandwidth without time delay.
