Green4 is a high output moving iron cartridge designed for compatibility with a wide range of phono stages.
Its presentation is balanced and musical, with clear detail and a smooth top end. The midrange carries warmth and presence, while low frequencies remain controlled and well defined.
Recordings are presented with coherence and stability, maintaining a natural and engaging character that reflects the music.
Diamond, Cantilever & Stylus
Green4 features a bonded elliptical diamond mounted to an aluminum cantilever.
The elliptical profile provides effective groove contact and reliable tracking, while the aluminum cantilever contributes to a stable and balanced presentation. This combination delivers consistent performance across a wide range of recordings.
The stylus assembly is user-replaceable, allowing for easy maintenance and long-term ownership. All Prestige Series styli are interchangeable, providing flexibility across models while maintaining consistent performance.
Moving Iron Design
All Grado cartridges utilize a moving iron design built on Joseph Grado’s patented flux-bridger principle.
This approach allows the cartridge to generate a precise signal with extremely low moving mass, while keeping the coil structure fixed. The result is a presentation that combines speed, control, and harmonic integrity without the fragility often associated with traditional moving coil systems.
The design also ensures long-term consistency, maintaining performance over time without degradation of the internal signal path.
Coil & Internal Structure
The internal signal path is built using ultra-high purity 5N OCC copper, selected for its conductivity and consistency.
Each cartridge undergoes cryogenic treatment and internal damping to reduce unwanted resonance and preserve signal integrity. The result is a presentation that remains coherent, balanced, and dynamically responsive.
