FREQUENCY RESPONSE, TRACKABILITY,
AND HIGH FIDELITY
Performance is the ultimate test of success
for any cartridge design. Frequency response
and trackability specifications are two of the
most important indicators of successful high-
fidelity performance.
Frequency response demonstrates the ac-
curacy of reproduction of tones across the en-
tire audible spectrum.
A flat frequency
response displays a cartridge's ability to
reproduce all sounds without emphasis or at-
tenuation. The tonal balance of low, mid, and
high pitched sounds are reproduced exactly as
they were recorded.
Trackability measures the ability of a stylus,
at a given tracking force, to maintain contact
with both groove walls while negotiating the
tortuous peaks, valleys, and hairpin turns of to-
day's heavily modulated record groove. A car-
tridge must allow the stylus tip t o stay in firm
contact with the groove walls t o produce clear,
clean, undistorted sound, and t o prevent
record groove damage that permanently alters
and distorts the sound.
