BENZ MICRO – SWISS MADE HIGH-END CARTRIDGES

Founded by original designer Ernst Benz in the 1980s, Benz Micro earned recognition throughout the world as one the top cartridge manufacturing companies. In 1994 Albert Lukaschek took over and after 20 years, Benz Micro announced their focus on the upper end Swiss hand-made phono cartridges.

Benz Micro’s current production team represents the ” best of the best ” for it’s state-of-the-art phono cartridge production.

Benz Micro ZEBRA

The first new cartridge model from Benz Micro in over a decade, the Zebra L offers a stunning combination of performance and value. Combining external materials from the Ruby Z, specifically the namesake zebra wood body, and internal generator of the Wood series cartridges, the Zebra L represents the continuation of the Benz Micro legacy. The denser, more expensive zebra wood material further enhances resonance control, while the classic iron cross generator provides the warm, sweet sound that has always been associated with this legendary Swiss brand. Like its predecessor the Wood SL, the Zebra-L is widely compatible and will perform beautifully on a wide range of systems and musical styles. Now available in three outputs: Low (Zebra L), medium (Zebra M), and high (Zebra H).
