Dorian Mono

The Mono Dorian is Lyra's entry-level monaural moving coil cartridge. It is a hand made, advanced Lyra design, identical in construction and sharing many features with the stereo version. The Dorian Mono is a true monaural design that generates a signal only from horizontal movement of the stylus and cantilever. It contains two totally separate monaural coils, which helps to avoid ground loops and hum problems. Therefore, only a single channel needs to be connected to a single amp/speaker system for true monaural reproduction!
