9mono
Enjoy monaural records from a wide range of eras
Specially designed model
Designed for playback on stereo equipment.
A mono generating coil is placed on each left and right channel, electrically separating them, so you don't have to worry about being bothered by hum noise.
The cantilever has a double structure of duralumin pipes to reduce the effective mass and ensure rigidity.
The oval-shaped stylus tip also allows for a wide range of playback of mono records from all eras.
A comment from an audio critic who listened to the "9mono" when it was first released
This unit basically delivers the sharp, high-resolution sound that is typical of IKEDA. But that's not all.
The mono sound image takes on a soft texture, creating an indescribable listening experience.
Another amazing thing is the way the musicians are portrayed in relation to one another.
This is something that is often felt even when playing mono CDs, but this is an expression that is incomparably more theatrical.

Listen to Kenny Dorham's "Jazz Contrasts."
The moment I heard the sound, electricity ran down my spine. Wow! Kenny Dorham is playing high notes there!
The resolution is so incredibly high that it's as if you can see the lip movements and piston work inside the trumpet mouthpiece.
The harp's tone is fresh and the rhythm section's expression is exquisite.
Thanks to 9mono I had the best Dorham experience of my life.
