Phasemation - Celebrating 10 Years of Excellence (2012)
Released to celebrate Phasemation’s 10th anniversary, the PP-300 is their entry-level cartridge that brings the craftsmanship and innovation of the PP-1000 to a more accessible price point. Despite its lower cost, the PP-300 incorporates many of the same features and expertise that make the PP-1000 so revered.
The result? A beautifully balanced sound, with fresh, detailed mids and highs, and a rich, full-bodied bass that competes with higher-end models. The cartridge offers a fresh, open mid-to-treble range with a resonant bass response, inheriting its "space expression" capabilities from Phasemation’s development of the flagship PP-1000 MC cartridge. Notably, it delivers a robust 0.3mV output, making it a great match for integrated MC phono stages, which often struggle with lower-output cartridges.

Phasemation PP-300 MC Phono Cartridge
PP-1000 Magnetic Circuit Technology
The PP-300 benefits from the advanced magnetic circuit design of Phasemation’s flagship PP-1000. By refining materials and production processes, the PP-300 offers enhanced cost efficiency while maintaining high performance. The use of a samarium-cobalt magnet provides an expansive sound field and a fresh, vibrant audio quality, improving upon previous models like the P-3.High-Quality Duralumin Body with DLC Coating
The PP-300 inherits the highly regarded duralumin base and body from the P-3, now further enhanced with a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating. This combination provides superior rigidity and vibration-damping, ensuring precise and stable audio reproduction.Premium Audio Materials
To achieve the highest audio quality, the PP-300 retains key materials from the PP-1000:- a pure boron cantilever
- 6N oxygen-free copper wire magneto coil
- a pure iron coil bobbin.
These premium components work together to deliver the rich, dynamic sound Phasemation is known for.
