The Red3 uses a four piece OTL cantilever that has a Grado specific diamond mounted on a brass bushing.
Grado’s OTL stylus/cantilever design makes records sound quieter, improves the height, width, and depth of the soundstage, and present more detail than previously obtainable.
The Red3 is hand assembled by Grado's team in Brooklyn, with some builders having over 25 years of experience. This updated series of cartridges offers excellent tonal balance, dynamics, and realism, for a most rewarding reproduction of vocals and instruments. The coil winding techniques using ultra high purity copper wire, which were honed during the development of the Lineage Series, have let the electrical circuits achieve unison between the four coils in each phono cartridge. This allows for a precise balance between channels and accurate stereo imaging.
As in all Grado phono cartridges the Red3 is powered by a twin magnet system that optimizes the balance between stereo channels. All internal magnetic circuit parts are held to extremely high tolerances creating the desired stereo imaging. Grado’s patented Flux-Bridger design allows the Red3 to have one of the lowest effective moving mass generating systems while creating an excellent balance throughout the full frequency range.

Customer Reviews
The Grado Red 3 is a superlative T4P Cartridge. I'm extremely pleased with the results. I've been using Grado for 40 years.
The Grado Prestige Red cartridge I purchased replaces a Prestige Green. I was and am very pleased with Grado products.
Grado quality and customer service always excellent. While some volume has been pulled out of this cartridge the musical clarity is just awesome. Definitely satisfied with my choice.
Another outstanding cart for my PL530 time machine. What that Red pushed out my Polks was a lucious surprise. Very satisfied.
My niece wanted a turntable for her dorm set up. I happened to find an older Technics missing its cables. Once I found what I needed and got it running - no sound. I didn’t realize the cartridge was missing! I’ve bought several Grados in the past and had a Grado Gold laying around, but it wasn’t a P-mount. I bought a Grado Red P-mount, it arrived in a couple of days though USPS and was a super easy install. Her amp is an old HK20 running through so JBL bookshelf speakers I bought her. I did not expect to hear such good sound. She is now happily enjoying her new hobby and this great sound did not break my bank!
