ProJect Pick-it MC3 Moving Coil Cartridge
The Pick-it MC3 moving coil pick-up cartridge has been designed by Pro-Ject to technically complement Pro-Ject's tonearms and turntable packages, all while achieving a powerful and dynamic sound character that is as suited to pop and rock as it is for big orchestral pieces.

Spherical diamond stylus
Cryogenically-treated aluminium cantilever
The Pick it MC3 boasts a Hyper-Spherical diamond stylus profile, unique to Pro-Ject. The profile shape offers a greater contact area with the record groove compared to regular spherical styli, and is well-suited to older and well-used vinyl records. The stylus is then bonded to a cryogenically treated aluminium cantilever. This treatment process helps the cantilever become even more rigid and improves its grip of the attached diamond.
Internally, the Pick it MC3 makes use of ARMCO pure iron pole pieces in the magnet system and 6N LC copper coils. The result is an easy-to-amplify 0.4mV output voltage.
Externally, the Pick it MC3 boasts an aluminium cartridge body, anodized in a striking steel blue finish. The clear, expertly machined contours help with cartridge alignment and installation is easy thanks to the standard 1/2" mounting sockets on the top panel. The included stylus guard helps keep the cantilever and diamond protected when the cartridge is not in use.
Made using parts sourced from reputable suppliers around the world and assembled in Europe, the MC3 has a sound signature similar to traditional "SPU" cartridges while being easy to fit and requiring less tracking force to avoid damage and degradation to vinyl records.
