Musical precision with a heritage of perfection
The Grado Prestige Green-3 is the result of over 50 years of craftsmanship and innovation in the world of high-end audio. Grado is known worldwide for its exceptional quality and customer-focused service, and this updated model is no exception. The Green-3 is part of Grado's fully updated Prestige Series, where the internal coil winding has been optimized for even more precise signal transmission. Furthermore, the stylus tip mass has been reduced by a substantial 17%, resulting in improved tracking and increased musical detail.
This Grado Green-3 was carefully selected from a batch of Blue models with the best test results. This makes it an excellent choice for the discerning music lover looking for an extra step in sound quality compared to the Black model. What stands out is the warm, musical signature for which Grado is known: rich in timbre, vibrant in the midrange frequencies, and with natural detail. Whether you enjoy jazz, classical, or singer-songwriter music, the Green-3 brings your records to life in a way that will surprise you again and again.
The Green-3 is suitable for light to medium-weight tonearms with a dynamic arm mass of up to approximately 15 grams. The recommended tracking force is 1.5 grams, and with an output of 5mV, this cartridge can be easily combined with virtually any MM phono input. Thanks to Moving Iron (MI) technology, the Grado Prestige Green-3 offers a remarkable channel separation of 30 dB at 1 kHz and a frequency response of 10 to 50,000 Hz – impressive figures for a cartridge in this price range. The stylus (Type E) is replaceable, and the cartridge is suitable for both standard and P-mount mounting.
