Cartridges
Pinpoint design for the truest sound
The cartridge is a fundamental element of vinyl reproduction - the foremost point of contact established with your record. At Vertere, we believe this foundational connection between the music and the hardware to be pivotal - our first opportunity to preserve and nurture the purity of your sound.
Like all Vertere products, nothing is taken for granted in our cartridge design. Everything is questioned, optimised, and developed on the finest of margins. The goal? To strip away every last inessential component, leaving a masterfully simple design that honestly and accurately reproduces each musical moment - every time you place vinyl on your record player.

The new pinnacle for cartridge design
Representing a major leap forward in moving coil cartridge design, XtraX defies expectation at every level - from its nude diamond micro-elliptical stylus and telescopic cantilever, to its single-piece aluminium chassis and four-point generator fixing. XtraX achieves previously unattainable levels of musical connection, presence, and jaw dropping harmonic definition, bringing your music to life like never before.
Mystic
An uncompromising musical experience
Setting a high watermark for moving coil cartridge performance, MYSTIC delivers a staggering degree of accuracy and carefully optimised sonic detail. Its class-leading generator utilises a samarium-cobalt magnet and pure copper cross coiling, alongside a micro-elliptical, bonded diamond stylus and aluminium tube cantilever - treading the perfect balance between surface grip and frequency response.
Dark Sabre
Transformational design, stunning reproduction
Introducing a revolutionary new level of musical clarity and definition. Dark Sabre builds on the success of its sister cartridge with an all-new fixing formation, single piece chassis and steeper profile for vastly optimised weight distribution and surface traction. Along with its micro-elliptical nude diamond stylus and telescopic cantilever, Dark Sabre sits among the most cutting-edge moving magnet cartridges available today.
Sabre
Take your listening to the next level
Balance, meticulous design, and granular attention to detail - it's what makes Sabre one of the most revered moving magnet cartridges in the world. A single-piece aluminium body houses an Alnico magnet generator, fixed together by four ‘spike’ screws positioned for maximum performance. Sabre delivers superb sonic clarity for a remarkably honest, objective, and accessible listening experience. Sabre also represents a perfect upgrade option for owners of the
DG-1S record player.
Magneto
A class-leading cartridge for any system
The Magneto is our entry level moving magnet cartridge, offering reliable performance and excellent build quality. It’s a great option for music lovers exploring elevated record reproduction for the first time, and the perfect partner to the award-winning Vertere DG-1S.
