Black Pearl
Borrowing the smooth character of its sibling Oyster, Black Pearl implements an improved housing that allows for wider frequency response. This makes way for more nuance and greater stereo imaging in a more cohesive soundstage.

The Black Pearl utilises the same proven, reliable cartridge body as the internationally renowned Pearl, mounting the same spherical stylus as the Oyster onto an improved cantilever. This unique combination gives a rich musical output, benefiting from greater channel separation and a wide frequency response that pushes the listening experience to the next level.

Offering a notable step-up over the budget Oyster, but still achieving an affordable price-point, the Black Pearl embodies the company's core philosophy of high fidelity sound at any cost. 

  • Great value sound with a wide frequency response
  • Spherical diamond stylus
  • Overhead mounting cartridge for installing into a headshell
  • Moving magnet cartridge with removable stylus
