Red3
Prestige 3 Series
GRADO
Awesome sound in red states and blue states
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 Red3 uses a four piece OTL cantilever that has a Grado specific diamond mounted on a brass bushing. These phono cartridges 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 Red3 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 Red3. 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 Red3 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 Red3 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 Red is proof that one does not have to spend large amounts of money for good sound from a phono
cartridge."
