The Benz Micro Glider is a high-end moving coil (MC) cartridge designed to provide an extremely precise, detailed, and musical sound reproduction. Ideal for those seeking a cartridge capable of enhancing their precious vinyl records to the fullest.

The cartridge's structure is made of anodized gold aluminum, with an exposed generator and a particularly delicate cantilever, elements that require some care during use. It is designed to be mounted on medium-mass tonearms, offering excellent compatibility with a variety of systems.

Regarding configuration, the optimal tracking force is 1.8 grams, allowing the cartridge to deliver optimal performance without compromise.

From a sonic perspective, the Glider stands out for its "linearity." It does not alter the music or impose its own signature sound, but simply reproduces the original groove faithfully, with fluid tones and a remarkable ability to convey emotions in the midrange. The high frequencies are reproduced naturally, without being too sharp or excessive, maintaining a balance that makes listening enjoyable and effortless.

Finally, the Glider SL is known for its excellent tracking. Even on difficult and complex tracks, the cartridge performs reliably, handling every type of groove without issue. Its ability to maintain stable and faithful reproduction makes it an ideal choice for those seeking precision and quality in every detail.
