NAGAOKA Co., Ltd., with over 85 years of history as a trusted name in audio equipment manufacturing in conjunction with Groove Central, is proud to announce the launch of the MP-700—the new flagship model of the beloved MP Series, cherished by vinyl enthusiasts around the world.

The NAGAOKA MP-700, marks a groundbreaking evolution in cartridge design. Unlike conventional Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges, the MP-700 features a lightweight permalloy element attached to the cantilever. This significant reduction in mass allows the stylus to trace grooves with greater freedom and precision, resulting in exceptionally refined and accurate sound reproduction. 

Meticulously crafted and built on innovative design principles, the MP-700 embodies Nagaoka’s enduring dedication to high-fidelity audio. This groundbreaking model promises an unparalleled listening experience for discerning music lovers everywhere bringing you closer than ever to the original performance.

The MP-700 will be officially launched globally from May 13, 2025, in celebration of the company’s founding 85th anniversary.
