Skyanalog P 1-G

Skyanalog’s entry-level P-Series models also feature the advanced Yan suspension system, which sets new standards in cost-effectiveness and performance in the market.

P1 Green: The further development of the P series:

The P1G adopts the open body design of the esteemed P1 and offers a simpler yet stable assembly thanks to a refined manufacturing process. The motor is from the P2 model and includes a square coil, boron cantilever and elliptical stylus from Japan. This integration results in the P1G offering the “high-end setup” in its price category.

New Suspension System “Yan”

Philosophy of construction: The essence of MC pickups is the damping system, which is essentially determined by the interaction between the spring (piano wire) and the rubber ring. In addition, the art of suspension essentially consists in matching all the components so that they work harmoniously. Consequently, all models in our new product line are carefully adjusted at the factory to a specification that guarantees balanced music reproduction and is consistent with our commitment to lifelike reproduction.

The new suspension system, Yan, was developed with the following objectives:

-Minimizing information loss and distortions:

By refining the spring and suspension materials, Yan aims to preserve the pickup’s interactive audio signal and reduce audible distortion that can detract from the listening experience.

-Exceptional dynamic range and lifelike sound:

The system is designed for a wide frequency and dynamic range, ensuring that the sound stage remains spacious and as close as a live performance.

-Improved transient response and clarity:

The optimized suspension mechanism enables an agile response to transient signals while ensuring clearer and more defined reproduction.

-Analytical yet warm acoustics:

Yan focuses on analytical precision while maintaining a warm sound profile that balances details.

About Skyanalog

Jack Leung, the founder of Skyanalog, developed an interest in building tube amplifiers at a very young age. He later attended South China University of Technology, where he graduated with a degree in electronic engineering. In the same year, he founded Skyanalog, which initially produced tube amplifiers. The company later transitioned to the analog sector, first as an OEM cartridge supplier to many well-known international brands (more than 20 brands and over 50 models) in 25 years of activity, also providing support for all MC cartridges, whether made by Skyanalog or other manufacturers.

The principle that inspired Jack Leung to design and build the Skyanalog cartridge line can be summarized in the belief that:

“Every detail counts,” with a focus on cartridge production based on three pillars: Precision Handmade, Top Quality, Reliable After Sale.

There are two main series in the current lineup: the P series, including models P1 and P2, and the G series, including models G1, G2, G3, and Reference.

Both the P and G series models use high-quality cantilevers, with boron being used even in the more affordable models (P1, P2, G1) and ruby and sapphire for the higher-performing ones (G2, G3, and Reference).

The weight of the P series models is 8.9 g. For the G series, it is 10 g, and for the Reference, it is 11 g. The internal impedance is 8 ohms for all models, except for the Reference, which has a value of 6 ohms. The output voltage is 0.4 mV for the P1, while all other models have an output of 3.5 mV. The frequency response within one dB (+/- 1 dB) varies depending on the model, ranging from 20 to 20,000 Hz for the P1, up to 25,000 Hz for the G series, and up to 30,000 Hz for the Reference.
