    Designed to Exceed Your Expectations

    Who says an affordable phono cartridge can't sound like a million bucks? The MoFi Electronics StudioTracker from Mobile Fidelity is designed to exceed your expectations.

    True to the source, the Japanese-made StudioTracker reproduces what's in records' grooves: nothing more, nothing less. Distinguished with an extremely well-balanced frequency response and accurate dynamic swings, StudioTracker delivers a wondrous level of precision. Developed in collaboration between Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab engineers and Spiral Groove founder Allen Perkins, StudioTracker features two powerful low-mass magnets aligned in a "V" formation that parallel the way a record's grooves are cut by the studio engineers.

    StudioTracker's elliptical stylus allows it to dig deep into record grooves to extract the hidden cues located within, all without adding coloration. A proprietary material is applied inside the specially designed polymer headshell to maximize performance. The exciting result: An entry-level high-end cartridge on par with much more expensive models – and an instrument that achieves wondrous channel separation, detail retrieval, and dynamic responsiveness.

    Indeed, StudioTracker's rich sonic character and smooth, highly accurate top end owe to the countless hours invested removing unwanted resonance and employing next-generation dampening elements to improve the sound. The overall design increases the control of the stylus/cantilever and generator, leading to heightened information retrieval and an extremely solidified bottom end.

    How a Vinyl Record is Created

    MoFi Electronics cartridges are designed by looking at how a vinyl record is created, which is on a cutting lathe like the lathes used at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab for the company's LP releases. UltraTracker's V-Twin dual-magnet generator mirrors the layout of the cutting head that originally cuts a record’s grooves.

    Elliptical Diamond Stylus

    With a polymer body and elliptical stylus, StudioTracker offers surprising bang-for-your-buck value and a rich sound distinguished with a smooth, slightly forgiving top end.

    V-Twin Dual-Magnet Generator

    Employing two low-mass, powerful magnets aligned in a V formation parallel with the stereo record grooves, StudioTracker accurately extracts precious details from your LPs.

    "...the Mobile Fidelity StudioTracker is nice in every way you can imagine, with every kind of music you're likely to play, blatantly shortchanging almost nothing. If it's perhaps a little overly generous here and a tiny bit kind there, that's better than stingy and harsh. It's still rich and fun and highly listenable and carries a tune with the best of its competitors. For $199, it positively glows. If that's not nice, I don't know what is."
