Moving Magnet Cartridge
A Moving Magnet Cartridge is a type of audio cartridge used in turntables to convert the mechanical vibrations of a vinyl record into electrical signals. It contains a small magnet attached to a cantilever, which moves within a fixed coil of wire. As the magnet moves, it generates an electrical current that is sent to an amplifier, allowing the sound to be played through speakers.
This technology is popular among vinyl enthusiasts due to its relatively low cost and ease of use. Compared to other types, such as Moving Coil Cartridges, moving magnet cartridges are generally more user-friendly and can be easily replaced, making them a great choice for beginners in the world of analog audio.
