The Michell Audio CUSIS M stands at the pinnacle of the CUSIS series, delivering an ultra high-end sonic experience that holds its own against cartridges well above its price point. Boasting an extended frequency range (15–45kHz) and enhanced channel separation (28dB), the CUSIS M uncovers every nuance in your music, from the subtlest vocal inflection to the broadest orchestral sweep.

Key Features
  • Samarium-Cobalt Magnet: Provides a stable magnetic field in tandem with pure iron for exceptional signal accuracy.
  • Microline Stylus & Boron Cantilever: Offers superior groove contact and detail retrieval, capturing every subtlety of your vinyl.
  • Carbon-Loaded Acrylic Body: Lightweight yet rigid, effectively damping vibrations for a cleaner, more open sound.
  • Refined Coil Design: Reduced coil mass with 30µ copper windings ensures swift transient response and high dynamic range.
  • Wide Frequency Response: Extends from 15Hz to 45kHz, delivering remarkable clarity across the entire spectrum.
Why It Matters

If you demand top-level realism and neutrality from your analog setup, the CUSIS M promises a truly immersive listening experience. Its Microline stylus profile delves deep into record grooves, translating the most delicate sonic information into a richly detailed soundstage. Whether your preference is classic jazz, modern electronica, or symphonic masterpieces, the CUSIS M reveals layers in your music you never knew existed.

Performance

Running at a 2.0-gram tracking force and outputting 0.25 mV, the CUSIS M achieves an ideal balance between precision and musical warmth. The boron cantilever delivers lightning-fast response, while the carbon-loaded acrylic body minimizes resonance—resulting in authoritative bass, lifelike vocals, and sparkling highs that stretch well beyond most cartridges’ range. Add in excellent channel separation (28dB) and you have a cartridge that can faithfully convey every dimension of your recordings.

Technology

Like its counterparts in the CUSIS series, the CUSIS M is built around a samarium-cobalt magnet and pure iron stabilizer, creating a robust magnetic field. A specially engineered damper ensures the Microline stylus tracks accurately, while reduced coil mass further refines detail retrieval. The result is a synergy of advanced materials and design principles that push the boundaries of what's possible in vinyl playback.
