Cutting Edge Performance : Powering Innovation
Titanic Audio cartridges are uniquely designed with a pointed front, intentionally echoing the iconic bow of the Titanic as it was engineered to slice through the water. This aesthetic not only provides a distinctive visual signature but also symbolically represents how our stylus is precisely shaped to navigate the intricate grooves of a vinyl record with similar ease and accuracy. Furthermore, the implementation of a curved headshell mounting surface in our designs yields considerable sonic advantages for the pickup. This curved geometry inherently increases the overall rigidity of the cartridge assembly, providing a more stable platform for the delicate internal components. Crucially, the curved surface also eliminates flat, reflective planes, thereby preventing internal sound wave reflections that can introduce unwanted resonances and distort the purity of the audio signal. This thoughtful combination of biomimicry and acoustic engineering ensures both exceptional tracking performance and a remarkably clean and detailed sound reproduction.
Perfectly Balanced : Pure Control
A key differentiator of our cartridges lies in the deliberate, more rearward positioning of our stylus tip compared to conventional designs. This unique placement is not arbitrary; it's a carefully engineered feature aimed at achieving perfect cartridge balance. By strategically locating the stylus tip, we ensure an optimal and consistent application of pressure onto the record. This precise positioning facilitates an ideal 50/50 weight distribution across the cartridge body, resulting in an equal force being exerted on both the front and the rear. This balanced weight distribution translates directly into superior tracking ability, allowing the stylus to navigate even the most intricate grooves with unwavering accuracy. Furthermore, this balanced pressure minimises uneven wear on both the stylus and the record, contributing significantly to their longevity and preserving the integrity of your cherished vinyl collection for years to come. This meticulous attention to weight distribution is a testament to our commitment to both exceptional sonic performance and the enduring quality of our cartridges.
Monocoque Chassis : Built For Performance
Drawing inspiration from the iconic sport cars which utilise a monocoque chassis, applying a similar single-shell construction to our cartridge design offers significant advantages. This approach enhances rigidity, minimising unwanted vibrations and resonances for more accurate tracking and purer sound reproduction. A monocoque body can also optimise weight distribution, contributing to tracking force consistency and potentially improving stability. The integrated structure enhances overall integrity, better protecting internal components. Furthermore, this design philosophy allows for unique shaping and material integration, potentially leading to both aesthetic distinction and improved acoustic performance. While achieving significant weight reduction can be challenging, the core benefit remains: a strong, rigid structure that maximises the cartridge's ability to precisely translate the nuances of a vinyl record.
Crafted for Quality. Built to Last
Our aluminium cartridge bodies are meticulously crafted using advanced techniques, including 5-Axis CNC machining. This state-of-the-art process not only ensures exceptional precision and tight tolerances for optimal audio performance but also enables us to achieve a distinctive aesthetic. We leverage this capability to create unique styling and design elements that echo the iconic lines and markings of the legendary Titanic Ship, blending superior sound with a touch of historical artistry. The aluminium's chassis provides lightweight and rigid characteristics that are highly beneficial for cartridge bodies, ensuring accurate tracking and minimising undesirable vibrations. Being non-magnetic is crucial for preventing interference with the cartridge's delicate internal components. Beyond these benefits, the aluminium construction offers a degree of shielding against radio frequency interference (RFI), helping to maintain a cleaner audio signal by blocking unwanted electromagnetic waves. While its thermal conductivity aids in dissipating heat generated within the cartridge during operation, contributing to more stable and consistent performance over time.
Better Together : Partnerships Made To Last
To guarantee the utmost quality in our audio reproduction, we have forged a strategic partnership with the esteemed Titan Audio. This collaboration grants us exclusive access to their multi-award-winning copper, a material of exceptional purity that forms the very heart of our cartridge coils. By employing this ultra-refined copper, we establish an unimpeded signal path, allowing for the most faithful and accurate translation of musical nuances. This specialised copper which is uniquely supplied, is instrumental in crafting a sonic signature that is truly our own. This exclusive material advantage allows us to deliver a sound experience that is not only superior but also entirely distinctive, setting us apart and maintaining our leading edge in the competitive audio landscape. The result is an unparalleled level of clarity, detail, and sonic fidelity that cannot be replicated, offering our customers a truly unique and exceptional listening journey.
