Description

Grado's focus on creating a cost-effective wooden cartridge allowed them to utilize techniques and technologies typically found in higher-end models.

Vibrant Sound and Precision Engineering
Encased in a beautifully crafted Maple housing, the Opus 3 benefits from Grado's extensive experience with the wood in their Heritage and Statement Series headphones. The choice of Maple enhances the cartridge’s vibrancy and richness, providing a lush, clear, and consistent sound across all frequencies.
Through a specialized thermal aging process, the Maple housing gains exceptional resonance control, further improving the cartridge's damping ability. This innovation ensures that the Opus 3 minimizes unwanted vibrations, delivering a more controlled and focused audio experience.
