The Pickering XSP/4004 is a phono cartridge designed for P-Mount (T4P) systems, featuring a Stereohedron stylus, a patented solution by Stanton and Pickering that delivers performance characteristics similar to the Shibata stylus. This specialized stylus profile allows for wide and precise contact with the groove walls, ensuring detailed and faithful reproduction across the entire audio spectrum. The frequency response extends from 10 Hz to 36 kHz, providing full reproduction of deep bass and high frequencies.

Channel separation reaches 35 dB and channel balance remains within 2 dB, offering a precise and coherent stereo image. The specifications ensure compatibility and optimal performance with most phono preamplifiers. The Pickering XSP4004 is thus a reliable and accurate cartridge, capable of delivering detailed, consistent, and dynamic sound in every listening session.
