• Electret capacitor pickup, operated only with supply SZ-1000. Tonally very balanced, fine and largely pulse-true drawing pickup, good sampling behavior at low and high frequencies, only average FIM, since the vertical track angle is too large by 2 to 4 °. In comparison with the 7ee6bd4e01033ee909e058b5c60f7a7d MC-30, it is inferior only at extremely high top speeds (Shure record Era IV from the fourth level for orchestral bells and flute). Since no magnet is used in the pickup, no humming at all. Top-class pickups with an acceptable price-quality ratio.

• Toshiba C-400 : Electret condenser pickup, output voltage with SZ-1000 8.5 mVs/cm, crosstalk attenuation 25 dB at 1 kHz, channel deviation <2dB at 1 kHz, needle compliance 10 mm/N, recommended load resistance >300 kQ, contact force 10 to 15 mN, weight 6 g; Price 900 DM including equalizer preamplifier SZ-1000
