Brand: Technics
The Technics EPC-100C is an electronic phonograph cartridge that was produced by the Japanese audio equipment manufacturer, Panasonic (formerly known as Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd.) in the 1990s. It is a high-performance cartridge designed for use with turntables, specifically the Technics SL-1000C. The EPC-100C features a low-output moving-magnet (MM) design, with a built-in capacitor that requires a step-up transformer in the phono stage to boost the signals for optimal performance when connected to an amplifier or preamp that does not have a built-in transformer. Overall, the Technics EPC-100C is a reliable and affordable cartridge that offers high-fidelity sound, particularly in the midrange and lower frequencies.
