Van den Hul MC-TWO Special

High-output version of the MC-ONE Special with an output voltage of 2.25 mV and copper coils. The “Special” designation in this cartridge’s name indicates significant improvements over the previous version: the cartridge is equipped with a thicker front pivot and an additional small magnet, both increasing its resolution capabilities and output voltage.
