Introducing the Hana SL MK II, the latest evolution of Hana's acclaimed S Series cartridges, designed to elevate your listening experience to new heights. Crafted with precision and passion, the SL MK II embodies the essence of Hana's commitment to delivering brilliant and gorgeous analog sound, accessible to all music enthusiasts.

 

The SL MK II introduces a host of enhancements, including a new tapered aluminum cantilever meticulously crafted by renowned cartridge designer Masao Okada-san. This upgrade ensures a more faithful transfer of groove modulation from vinyl records to the cartridge generator, resulting in an even more captivating and immersive sound.

 

Furthermore, the SL MK II cartridges are equipped with cryogenically treated critical components, including the yoke, pole-pieces, and gold terminal pins, to deliver a remarkably natural and authentic sound that resonates with the true essence of the music.

 

Drawing inspiration from the prestigious Hana M Series, the SL MK II boasts a non-resonant body shape damped with a luxurious matte Soft Feel Black elastomeric resin paint, along with a brass cap featuring threaded cartridge mounting fittings. The increased weight of the SL MK II cartridges ensures better coupling and compatibility with a wider range of tonearms, resulting in enhanced bass and dynamics to breathe new life into your favorite records.

 

Moreover, the SL MK II generator, also featured in the Umami Blue and ML models, incorporates an Alnico magnet and cross-coil design using high-purity 30-micron copper wire with an 8Ω impedance. This innovative design enhances the signal-to-noise ratio, reduces moving mass for unparalleled resolution and trackability, and ensures seamless compatibility with a diverse range of phono stages. Elevate your listening experience with the Hana SL MK II, where brilliance and gorgeous analog sound meet uncompromising quality and innovation.
