With the TAS 1500, Thorens offers a high-quality low-output moving coil cartridge for discerning vinyl enthusiasts. Its development focused on achieving the ideal combination with the TD 1500 and TD 403 DD turntables as well as the precision-engineered TP 150 tonearm. The result is a harmonious setup that delivers dynamic, musical and well-balanced sound reproduction.

Manufactured in Japan, the TAS 1500 combines premium materials with precision craftsmanship. Its solid boron cantilever and Microlinear diamond stylus ensure accurate groove tracing and enable detailed music reproduction with outstanding fidelity.

With an output voltage of 0.4 mV at 5.5 cm/s, the TAS 1500 is ideally suited for use with high-quality MC phono preamplifiers. Its internal impedance of 12 ohms recommends a load impedance of more than 100 ohms, allowing seamless integration into demanding hi-fi systems.

The carefully engineered design delivers a natural sound character with precise dynamics, excellent spatial presentation and impressive detail retrieval. Even subtle musical nuances and fine sonic structures are reproduced with remarkable accuracy.
