The HANA-Umami Red high-end moving coil cartridge combines brilliant materials and classic Japanese techniques with modern audio engineering. All the major parts in a HANA-Umami Red are manufactured in house by Excel Sound with its rich history spanning more than 50 years. Excel’ s highly trained craftsmen skillfully hand assemble the HANA-Umami Red ensuring an intensely musical experience furthering the HANA “Brilliant and Gorgeous” sound quality.
●AuricleTM Cartridge body
The Umami Red body is machined from A7075 aluminum alloy with exclusive AuricleTM body design, Ebony Wood inlay, and tapped mounting holes.
●Urushi Lacquer
The multi-layered Urushi lacquer finish originates from the famous Japanese Makie-artistic tradition, adding to the rich sound and optics.
●Microline stylus
The ‘nude’ natural diamond stylus design is cut and polished to mimic the cutting head stylus used to Master or “cut” all vinyl records.
●Boron cantilever
Boron, with a hardness comparable to diamond, was selected for the Umami Red to rigidly hold the Microline stylus.
●Moving coil generator
The rare earth samarium/cobalt magnet with pure copper wires, expertly hand-wound onto the square plate Permalloy armature.
●Cryogenic processing
This ‘cold annealing’ process at near absolute zero temperature is used to treat many of the components in the generator and the signal output pins.
●Wonderfully Musical
The Hana team is proud of their seamless integration of brilliant materials, modern audio engineering, and traditional techniques. Master Okada-san brings decades of experience to this design, applying the Umami concept of synergy with the HANA-Umami Red to indulge your senses in the music.
