Performance<\/h2>

Statement4 is a low output moving iron cartridge designed for use with high-gain phono stages.<\/p>

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

    Flux-Bridger Moving Iron Design<\/h2>

    All Grado cartridges utilize a moving iron design built on Joseph Grado\u2019s patented flux-bridger principle.<\/p>

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

      Diamond & Cantilever<\/h2>

      Statement4 features a nude Shibata diamond mounted to a machined boron cantilever.<\/p>

      • The Shibata profile is highly effective at retrieving detail from the groove, offering exceptional contact and resolution while maintaining a natural, unforced presentation.<\/li>
      • Paired with a machined boron cantilever\u2014known for its low mass and responsive behavior\u2014the system delivers clarity, speed, and stability across the frequency range.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Coil & Internal Structure<\/h2>

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

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

          Housing<\/h2>

          The Statement4 is housed in a Brazilian Ebony wood body.<\/p>

          • Beyond its visual presence, the wood plays a role in controlling resonance and contributing to the cartridge\u2019s tonal balance.<\/li>
          • The structure has been refined to reduce mass while improving compatibility across a wide range of tonearms.<\/li>
          • The form also improves visibility of the cantilever during setup, allowing for more precise alignment.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
