DS Audio DS Master1 Optical Phono Cartridge

DS Audio Flagship model “”Master 1”

Writing a new chapter in the history of Analog Music.

Cartridge

Sapphire cantilever with micro-ridge stylus

The micro-ridge stylus of the DS Master1 features a
minimum-curvature radius and is mounted to a sapphire cantilever. The super low
mass optical generator, which eliminates the need for magnets and coils as
found in conventional phono cartridges, is free of ultra-sonic ringing. These
features allow the Master1 to reproduce every element of musical information
with stunning nuances and brilliant detail, redefining flagship-level performance.

Overwhelmingly high rigidity

Advanced Material Science was employed throughout the
development phase of the DS Master1. No detail was overlooked. Over the past
two years, all aspects of the design and components have been re-evaluated to
ensure the highest rigidity possible in the Master1 cartridge. From its
Ultra-duralumin body to its amethyst power indicator window, we have carefully
selected each material and component to ensure that the DS Master1 represents a
phono cartridge of the highest quality.
