Ceramic vs magnetic cartridge fidobsa no you do not need riaa equalisation when using a ceramic cartridge into a high impedance about 1 m ohm flat frequency response input as a combination of the riaa recording characteristic used in making the record and the output voltage performance of a ceramic cartridge result in an overall. Unlike a ceramic cartridge the back end of the stylus in a magnetic cartridge is not embedded in a block of material. A moving magnet mm cartridge is the most common type of phono cartridge.

These typically have an output voltage of between 0 5v and 1 0v and this is not sufficient to replace crystal cartridges originally having outputs of 2 volts and above. As the stylus moves the magnets change their relationship with the coils in the body of the cartridge which generates a small voltage. A magnetic cartridge more commonly called a phonograph cartridge or phono cartridge or colloquially a pickup is an electromechanical transducer that is used to play records on a turntable. It has two magnets on the end of the stylus one for each channel located inside of the cartridge itself.

The cartridge contains a removable or permanently mounted stylus the tip usually a gemstone such as diamond or sapphire of which makes physical contact with the record s groove.
