Vertere Sabre High-End Moving Magnet Cartridge

Key Features

• Aluminium alloybody CNC precision machined from solid
• The body is mass-tuned to the generator for optimum support and control of unwanted mechanical vibrations
• Sabre utilises an Alnico magnet with its suspension individually positioned and aligned for maximum musical performance
• The generator is uniquely fixed to the body via four ‘spike’ screws precisely positioned and torqued for maximum rigidity and performance
• No adhesives used in mounting the generator to the cartridge body ¹
• The Micro-Elliptical diamond stylus tip is bonded to an aluminium tube cantilever designed for maximum tracking ability without compromising high-frequency response or increased surface noise
• Threaded body to accept the supplied stainless steel thumbscrews for correct coupling of the cartridge body to the tonearm headshell
• Three specifically designed contact areas machined into the top of the body that provide the exact mechanical coupling required
• Alignment ridge on the front top that assists mounting Sabre to any Vertere tonearm
• Bonded through diamond assembly maximises alignment and rigidity
• Wideband frequency response of below 15Hz to above 25kHz
• Output of 4.0mV will provide a lifelike dynamic range with depth and precision

Vertere Sabre High-End Moving Magnet Cartridge

Sabre’s body is precision machined from solid Aluminium alloy with its final mass perfectly tuned to the generator for ideal support and control of unwanted mechanical vibrations. In turn, the generator is uniquely fixed to the body via four ‘spike’ screws that are precisely positioned and torqued for maximum rigidity and performance. 

Cartridge mounting is via two machined threaded fixing holes. Also supplied with the cartridge are two Vertere stainless steel thumb screws designed to ensure correct coupling of the cartridge body to the tonearm head-shell. Each Sabre‘s cantilever/suspension is individually positioned and aligned at Vertere to ensure maximum musical performance.

The Elliptical diamond stylus tip is rigidly fixed and bonded to an aluminium tube cantilever designed for maximum tracking ability without compromising on high-frequency response or low surface noise. Sabre has an extended response of below 15Hz to over 25kHz which when coupled with its low mass moving magnet and output of 4.0mV creates a lifelike dynamic range and scale with incredible detail, low frequency ‘punch’, depth and precision.

Who are Vertere Acoustics?  

Vertere Acoustics’ ideology is simple and couldn’t be more true. It’s that any Hifi System is only as good as its weakest link. Everything, including the cables, tonearm and every part of their equipment, must be balanced and engineered with care, attention and passion, to get the absolute best from your favourite album.

Vertere engineers all of their products from the ground up, starting at the fundamentals of cutting and producing a record to get as close to the original recording as possible.

That may sound like a simple less is more philosophy, but we prefer to look at it this way: the best audio equipment shouldn’t add anything to the original recording. Rather it should affect it as little as possible; bringing the listener ever closer to what the artist, producer and mastering engineer wanted you to hear.

Vertere Acoustics was founded by Touraj Moghaddam, designer of Roksan’s ever-popular & infamous Xerxes turntable. Over the last decade, Touraj has been refining his designs to produce some of the world's finest turntables, with a frightening amount of time, effort and attention to detail put into each and every one.
