The first new cartridge model from Benz Micro in over a decade, the Zebra L offers a stunning combination of performance and value. Combining external materials from the Ruby Z, specifically the namesake zebra wood body, and internal generator of the Wood series cartridges, the Zebra L represents the continuation of the Benz Micro legacy. The denser, more expensive zebra wood material further enhances resonance control, while the classic iron cross generator provides the warm, sweet sound that has always been associated with this legendary Swiss brand. Like its predecessor the Wood SL, the Zebra-L is widely compatible and will perform beautifully on a wide range of systems and musical styles. Now available in three outputs: Low (Zebra L), medium (Zebra M), and high (Zebra H).

Warranty: 2 years manufacturing defects.
