The Pro-Ject Pick it MC3 is a moving coil cartridge designed to deliver high-quality audio playback with precision and detail. It features a lightweight aluminum body that reduces resonance and enhances sound clarity. The MC3 is equipped with a diamond stylus that contacts the vinyl records with minimal friction, translating grooves into rich audio signals. Its output voltage typically measures around 0.5 mV, making it suitable for use with compatible phono preamps that have the necessary gain for moving coil cartridges. The frequency response of the MC3 ranges from approximately 20 Hz to 20 kHz, ensuring a broad spectrum of sound reproduction. This cartridge is ideal for audiophiles looking for an upgrade to their vinyl setup, offering a dynamic sound profile characterized by steep transients and a smooth tonal balance. Additionally, its specifications suggest a recommended tracking force of around 2 grams and an internal impedance of approximately 10 ohms, which are optimized for compatibility with a variety of turntables.
