9xx

You can feel the "breath" engraved on the record
IKEDA's top model

The stylus tip has a microridge shape and the cantilever is made of boron.

The base is made of titanium alloy and the body is made of aluminum alloy.

After carefully polishing with buffing, black rhodium plating is applied to create

a rich bass sound and an immersive experience that brings the breath and emotion of the record to life.

We thought about how we could bring out and convey the delicate sounds engraved in the grooves of records,

We have now managed to release the evolved 9xx.

The cantilever is made of boron, which is advantageous for vibration transmission.

The stylus uses a micro-ridge stylus tip that can trace up to ultra-high frequencies.

The base is titanium and the body is aluminum alloy.

Both are precisely machined from a block and buffed.

The surface is then finished with black rhodium plating.

As a result, the synergistic effect of "soft" and "hard" makes the expression richer,

It delivers a musical characteristic that is full of energy never felt before.

Please drop the needle of the 9xx into the groove of your record,

I hope you can feel the sound field contained within the record and the rich bass sound.
