DS Audio DS Mono Cartridge Series

Dedicated Suspension System Optimized for Mono Playback

By detecting only these lateral signals with high precision, the Mono cartridges eliminate unnecessary components and allow the unique sonic characteristics of mono records—such as clarity, impact, and tonal richness—to be faithfully reproduced.
This dedicated design maximizes the expressive power of mono recordings, delivering the full emotional impact captured in each performance

Solid Brass Base for Rich and Powerful Sound

Each Mono series cartridge features a precision-machined solid brass base, carefully selected for its acoustic properties. Brass offers a unique combination of high rigidity and relatively high internal damping among metal materials, making it ideal for audio applications.

This brass base contributes to a thick, powerful low and mid-frequency response, while effectively suppressing unwanted resonances.  The result is a dense, focused sound with exceptional tonal richness and presence, perfectly complementing the character of mono records. Even vintages gain recording newfound energy and realism, bringing musical performances to life with depth and intimacy.

Mono Version Available Across All DS Audio Cartridge Models at No Extra Cost

We are pleased to offer a mono version for every model in the DS Audio cartridge lineup.
Although the internal structure of our mono cartridges is specifically engineered for mono playback, their price remains identical to their stereo units.

This allows customers to choose freely between stereo and mono versions according to their listening environment or musical preferences, without any cost differences.
The DS Audio Mono series provides an ideal solution for fully unlocking the charm of mono records in their purest form.
