Grado - Gold4 - Prestige Series Phono Cartridge

Grado - Gold4 - Prestige Series Turntable Phono Cartridge

The Grado Gold4 Standard Cartridge represents the highest level of performance within the Prestige Series, built on decades of refinement in moving iron cartridge design. Engineered for musical accuracy and long-term consistency, it delivers a balanced presentation that emphasizes clarity, tonal richness, and controlled dynamics. Designed for compatibility with a wide range of systems, the Gold4 brings Grado’s signature sound into modern vinyl playback setups with reliability and precision.

At its core, the Gold4 utilizes Grado’s moving iron design, offering low moving mass and efficient signal generation for improved tracking and responsiveness. The bonded elliptical diamond stylus, paired with an aluminum cantilever, ensures accurate groove contact and stable playback across a wide frequency range. Internally, high-purity copper wiring and carefully controlled damping help reduce resonance and preserve signal integrity, resulting in a clean, coherent presentation with natural midrange detail and controlled low-end response.

Designed for both performance and practicality, the Gold4 supports user-replaceable stylus assemblies and compatibility across the Prestige Series lineup. Available in both standard and P-mount configurations, it integrates easily into a variety of tonearms and turntable systems. The result is a cartridge that delivers refined sound quality, dependable operation, and long-term value for vinyl enthusiasts seeking a high-performance moving iron design.
