Overview

Restore the full character of monaural vinyl with the Nagaoka MP-MONO Cartridge—specially designed to optimize playback for mono records. Whether you're spinning modern mono reissues or original pressings from the 1940s and 1950s, this cartridge brings out the detail, warmth, and spatial focus that stereo cartridges often miss.

The MP-MONO comes equipped with a standard 0.7 mil elliptical stylus (JN-PMONO 0.7E) for high-resolution playback of modern mono records. For collectors seeking an authentic vintage sound, an optional 1.0 mil stylus (JN-PMONO 1.0E) is available to recreate the thicker, mid-bass-driven tones of early mono pressings. Designed and manufactured in Japan, the MP-MONO delivers expressive, richly textured mono sound with excellent build quality.
