Hand Assembled in Brooklyn Diamond Tipped Twin Magnet System Patented Flux-Bridge™
Ultra High Purity Copper Coil Four Coil Unison De-Stressed Chasis Swiss Screw Machined
The Green3 uses a three piece OTL cantilever that has a Grado specific diamond mounted on a brass bushing. The Green3 are hand selected from production runs
which meet higher test specifications.
Grado’s OTL, or optimized transmission line, technology provides an ideal transfer of signal from the surface of the LP to the generator of the system. This technology
rejects unwanted resonances and lowers distortion preserving the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of the music. This also helps keep noise generated by the
motor system in the cartridge to a minimum.
Grado’s OTL stylus/cantilever design makes records sound quieter, improves the height, width, and depth of the soundstage, and present more detail than previously
obtainable.
The Green3 are all hand assembled by our team in Brooklyn, with some builders having over 25 years of experience. With the recent development of the highly
received Lineage Series of cartridges, we were able to have a trickle down of technology and bring a new technique to the Green3. This updated series of cartridges
offers excellent tonal balance, dynamics, and realism, for a most rewarding reproduction of vocals and instruments. Our coil winding techniques, using ultra high
purity copper wire which were honed during the development of the Lineage Series, have let the electrical circuits achieve unison between the four coils in each
phono cartridge. This allows for a precise balance between channels and accurate stereo imaging.
As in all Grado phono cartridges the Green3 are powered by a twin magnet system that optimizes the balance between stereo channels. All internal magnetic circuit
parts are held to extremely high tolerances creating the desired stereo imaging. Grado’s patented Flux-Bridger design allows the Green3 to have one of the lowest
effective moving mass generating systems while creating an excellent balance throughout the full frequency range.
The development of the Epoch in the Lineage Series gave us an in-depth experience with using an outer housing as a damping device. This led to the creation of a
process which de-stresses the chassis and dissipates unwanted energy & resonant frequencies, allowing the desired signal to travel freely.
"the Grado Prestige Green is a cartridge most people will find thoroughly enjoyable for nearly all kinds of music, especially if
their system is very slightly laid back. At it's price, it simply can't be beaten! If you have a moderately-priced turntable lurking in
your closet, pull it out, get a Grado prestige Green"
