Please message me for that serviceTESTIMONIALS MMC6000 Manufactured: 1974 - 1979 Designer: Subir Pramanik Colours: Silver Bang & Olufsens (then) most accomplished pickup cartridge was fitted to Beogram 6000. The MMC principle was adapted to track 4-channel records: both Quadradiscs and SQ. MMC 6000 would track both mono and stereo records with the utmost fidelity. It was designed for record-players with tangential arms. The stylus was the Pramanik diamond, named after its inventor: engineer S K Pramanik from Bang & Olufsens Laboratories. The diamonds radii were 7 um/2 x 50 um. It was a refinement of the elliptical shape, rather like the shape of the cutter-head, and enabled greater contact with the undulations of the record groove. The cantilever was made of berylium - a material which is harder yet lighter than popularly-used aluminium. Effective tip mass was 0.22 mg. Compliance was higher than 30x10-6 cm/dyne. Recommended- stylus pressure was 1g. The total frequency range was 20-45.000 Hz. In the audible range: 20-15.000 Hz there is less than 1.5 dB variation and in the inaudible range 20,000-45,000 Hz where the carrier frequencies lie, the pick-up fulfils RCA/JVCs specifications for a Class A discrete 4-channel pick-up cartridge. Each cartridge is an integrated, individually calibrated unit. The stylus unit is not separately replaceable since it is part of the integrated unit. An individual frequency response curve traced on a Bruel & Kjaer level recorder and a complete Calibration Card were enclosed with every MMC 6000 sold.MMC6000 Product Specifications Pramanik diamond Radius of curvature CD-4 quadro Frequency range 20 - 15000 Hz+/- 1,5dB 20 - 45000 Hz (CD4) Channel separation 1000Hz >25dB 40 - 10000Hz >20dB Channel difference <1,5dB Intermodulation <1% Recommended stylus pressure 1g Compliance 30 x 10(-6)cm/dyne Effective tip mass 0,22mg Output mV/cm/sec. 0,6mV/47kOhmsWORLDWIDE carriage may cost more OR LESS!! than the listing states (I have to enter an estimated figure) and will be charged in full as per the service chosen and destination country.

Selling this original MMC 6000 phono cartridge for the Beogram turntables from Danish Bang & Olufsen. The MMC 6000 is in great working condition, looks and sounds fantastic. It is fully original and has never been retipped, meaning it has the original berrylium cantilever and the multi-radial Pramanik-style cut diamond . Here a video of the cartridge playing on my personal turntable: https://youtu.be/OKLlsYocajQ?si=ua5avJWoS7Qd_QeJ The cartridge is delivered in its original box, with the original B&O tool kit (scale, screwdriver & brush) hidden inside the box. Please pay attention that this is a genuine MMC 6000 cartridge with above mentioned original specifications. Other offers online often present an MMC 6000 that has been reworked and is not according to factory specifications, meaning no berrylium cantilever and Pramanik diamond. Shipping worldwide, well packaged and with tracking and insurance.
