1/2-inch Mount or P-Mount?
This cartridge is available with either a 1/2-inch Mount or a P-Mount. You will almost certainly need the 1/2-inch Mount version. That will allow it to be fitted to all quality tonearms with the two mounting points on the head shell. The P Mount version (also known as T4P) is for plugging directly into specialised tonearms with a squarish receptacle on the end. If in doubt, choose 1/2-inch. You can learn more about this here.

There are many analogue lovers with record collections that include mono albums.

At Grado we strive to have products that will fit all the needs of the analogue enthusiast.

So now, Grado offers two new cartridge models in a mono version.

The MC+ and the ME+ are mounted with an elliptical diamond.

The ME+ uses one of GRADO's upgraded generating systems.

All wooden body cartridges are available in mono version.

This will make your records quieter and enhance the musical pleasure of these recordings.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Zoe ★★★★★

The 1/2-inch mount dropped straight into my turntable's headshell with no fuss, and the difference in tracking is immediately obvious on older records. Vocals sit clearer and the low end doesn't smear anymore. Genuinely glad I went with this over another budget option.

Carter N. ★★★★★

Swapping out my old worn stylus for this 1/2-inch mount version was the easiest upgrade I've done to my turntable setup. Tracking through my well-loved jazz records, the surface noise just dropped away and the highs came through clean.

William ★★★★★

Wasn't sure the 1/2-inch mount would line up with my older tonearm, but it dropped right in with the standard screws. Tracking is noticeably cleaner through the inner grooves than what I had before.
