About Stanton 881S
/////////////////////////

Stanton's 881S Professional Calibration Standard represents the first in a development of a whole ~ generation of cartridges. Its whole design concept is based on producing a cartridge which would have the highest possible ability to protect records.

This requires a brand new tip shape ... the 881 has it ... it is the Stereohedron®. This demands a brand new magnet .. . the 881 has it . .. a magnet of an exotic rare earth compound, which, because of its enormous power, is far smaller than ordinary magnets. It also is positioned closer to the center of rotation for low inertia.

This requires a brand new construction principie .. . the 881 has it .. . in this instance, it's an improved patented suspension. This new construction principle plus all the features mentioned earlier produce a cartridge whose performance is beyond compare.

The Calibration Concept was an outgrowth of the needs of the recording industry .. . for a cartridge of sufficient sophistication to be used as a primary calibration standard in system checkouts for linearity and equalization .

Stanton succeeded in producing such a cartridge as is evidenced by the almost universal acceptance of calibration standard cartridges by engineers, music critics and musicians.
