Description
The Zebra L, Benz Micro's first new cartridge model in over a decade, offers a striking combination of performance and value. Combining external materials from the Ruby Z, specifically its namesake zebrawood body, and the internal generator from the Wood series cartridges, the Zebra L represents the continuation of the Benz Micro legacy.
The densest and most expensive zebra wood material further improves resonance control, while the classic cross-iron generator delivers the warm, sweet sound that has always been associated with this legendary Swiss brand. Like its predecessor, the Wood SL, the Zebra-L is broadly compatible and will perform wonderfully across a wide range of systems and musical styles. Now available in three outputs: low (Zebra L), medium (Zebra M) and high (Zebra H).
