Optimized Transmission Line (OTL) Cantilever/Stylus
Assembly

Grado's OTL provides an ideal transfer of the signal from point to point, e.g.,
stylus to cantilever to magnet to coils, etc. This has been achieved by
eliminating resonance at each of these key junctions. The transmission line
cantilever consists of separate sections that are telescoped into each other.
All sections are made of different alloys, some sections hollow, other sections
solid. These sections are bonded together with materials that act as dampers,
and are coated with a black proprietary material which controls and absorbs
resonances that travel on the surface of the cantilever (known as skin
effects). The OTL stylus/cantilever design will make your records sound
quieter, improve the height, width, and depth of the soundstage, and offer more
detail than previously obtainable.



 The "OTL" cantilever shaft is
brought to a fixed axial pivot that supports the entire cantilever assembly. A
miniature element attached to the end of the cantilever is allowed to move
freely within the lines of flux of a stationary magnet and coil structure. The
fixed axial design has a very low tip mass, which results in lower distortion,
improved transient response, and longer record life.
