BENZ MICRO - RUBY

The Benz Ruby Z Cartridge: There's a New Jewel in Town!  

This new version of the venerable Benz Ruby is gorgeous, the warmth of the Ruby Z washes over you, bathing your your senses with the natural portrayal of musical instrumentation, and the sound of the human voice. Well, be prepared for a flood of new emotion from your music collection. What the Benz Ruby Z does better than any other cartridge (except Benz's own $5k LP-S) is get out of the way and transmit the original musical event as a pure expression of art and passion. Our highest recommendation!

The Benz Ruby Z and Ruby ZH upgrade the famous Ruby to full “S Class” status. They feature the new Zebra wood body, second only to Ebony for its resonance characteristics, offering bass weight and pitch definition, midrange linearity and high frequency clarity with a natural musicality. A new MicroRidge stylus is employed, providing enhanced trackability, resolution and groove integrity. The generator is based on the Ruby square plate and available in both Low Output (0.35mV) and Medium Output (0.7mV). The Ruby Z low output is best used with phonostages offering greater than 60dB gain, loaded at 400 ohms or higher. The ZH at .7mV is ideal for tube phonostages in the 50-60dB gain range, less efficient systems, and prefers a 47kohm load.


The Ruby Zebra cartridges weigh only 9.6 grams, making them ideal for a wide range of tonearms, including today’s state-of-the-art, and vintage models. As always, Benz offers industry leading trade-up programs for older Ruby owners as well as all Benz models.
