Magnetic Cartridges
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 recordson a turntable. There are two types of cartridges, moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC), both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges are tiny electromagnetic generators, converting the mechanical movement (vibration) created by their stylus riding in a record’s groove into an electrical signal that will be amplified and processed by a sound system for us to enjoy. Both use magnets and coils of wire to generate the signal, with one or the other vibrating in unison with the stylus assembly to which they are attached.
