Gold Note Da Vinci

The Gold Note Da Vinci is a low output MC (Moving Coil) pickup that offers a balanced sound and a detailed reproduction. Its body is made of Duralumin 7000, a material used for its combination of durability and resonance damping. The pickup is equipped with a microelliptical diamond tip and an aluminium needle arm, which contributes to a fairly neutral reproduction of the details of the music.

The frequency range extends from 10 Hz to 35 kHz, which means that the pickup can reproduce both the lowest and highest frequencies of a vinyl disc. With an output level of 0.4 mV and an internal impedance of 4 ohms, the Da Vinci is recommended to be used with a load of 220 ohms. The needle pressure should be set at 2 grams for best results.

This pickup can be an interesting option for those looking for a mid-priced motorbike pickup and who want a solid construction. Sonically, however, it can be perceived as somewhat restrained and lacking the dynamics and presence found in higher price ranges. It's a reasonable compromise for those who want a stable, if not exceptional, performance.
