About Benz Micro
Located in the picturesque Swiss town of Neuhausen am Rheinfall is the Benz Micro cartridge factory. Here, master cartridge builder Albert Lukaschek works with a small group of artisans, hand crafting some of the world’s best MC phono cartridges. Coils are wound by hand under intense magnification, cartridge bodies and chassis parts are constructed and assembled in house, and each cartridge is carefully listened to by Mr. Lukaschek himself. Any cartridge that does not meet his strict criteria will go back for adjustment until it is perfect. This pride of workmanship can be felt when you first place a Benz Micro needle into a record groove and experience a level of musical engagement unmatched in home audio.
Founded by the late Ernst Benz in 1970, Benz Micro has been producing MC phono cartridges since the early 1980's. In 1994 the company came under the ownership and direction of Mr. Albert Lukaschek, ushering in a new era of product development and company growth. The popularity of Benz Micro exploded throughout the 2000s and 2010s as more people worldwide became aware of the excellent quality of these cartridges. Before long, demand exceeded supply, and wait times for many of models stretched to months or even years. To ensure a more steady supply, the company recently streamlined production, reducing it’s product lineup to focus on just their most popular models. Now Benz Micro cartridges are once again in steady supply in the USA, and are better than ever with new offerings such as the Zebra Wood series.
