Performance

Statement4 is a low output moving iron cartridge designed for use with high-gain phono stages.

  • Its presentation is balanced and controlled, with clear detail and a smooth, natural top end.
  • The midrange carries presence and body, while low frequencies are defined and well structured.
  • Recordings are presented with stability and coherence, maintaining separation and imaging without exaggeration.
  • The overall character remains consistent, allowing the recording to define the listening experience.

Flux-Bridger Moving Iron Design

All Grado cartridges utilize a moving iron design built on Joseph Grado’s patented flux-bridger principle.

  • This approach allows the cartridge to generate a precise signal with extremely low moving mass, while keeping the coil structure fixed.
  • The result is a presentation that combines speed, control, and harmonic integrity without the fragility often associated with traditional moving coil systems.
  • The design also ensures long-term consistency, maintaining performance over time without degradation of the internal signal path.

Diamond & Cantilever

Statement4 features a nude Shibata diamond mounted to a machined boron cantilever.

  • The Shibata profile is highly effective at retrieving detail from the groove, offering exceptional contact and resolution while maintaining a natural, unforced presentation.
  • Paired with a machined boron cantilever—known for its low mass and responsive behavior—the system delivers clarity, speed, and stability across the frequency range.

Coil & Internal Structure

The internal signal path is built using ultra-high purity 7N OCC copper, selected for its conductivity and consistency.

  • Each cartridge undergoes cryogenic treatment during both component preparation and final assembly, helping to stabilize materials and optimize performance.
  • The internal structure is carefully damped to reduce unwanted resonance and vibration, allowing the cartridge to extract information from the groove with minimal interference.
  • The result is a signal that remains coherent, balanced, and dynamically responsive.

Housing

The Statement4 is housed in a Brazilian Ebony wood body.

  • Beyond its visual presence, the wood plays a role in controlling resonance and contributing to the cartridge’s tonal balance.
  • The structure has been refined to reduce mass while improving compatibility across a wide range of tonearms.
  • The form also improves visibility of the cantilever during setup, allowing for more precise alignment.
