ank you very much for purchasing a HANA MC cartridge!
HANA cartridges are competitively priced, but with high quality sound reproduction,
and ease of use and setup. In particular, the highoutput models, HANA “EH” and “SH” with 2mv output,
are directly connectible to high output MM Phono inputs,
without using step-up devices, still providing you with high quality MC sound.
