DS-E3
The DS-E3 uses a third-generation optical cartridge mechanism, the same design as our other products.
The DS-E3 achieves an overwhelmingly low price while inheriting the merits of the third-generation mechanism, such as higher output due to independent LED and PD, improved channel separation, and the use of a beryllium light shielding plate.

About DS Audio
Breakthrough Innovation / Exclusive / Made in Japan / Optical Cartridge / Phono Equalizer
A dream since 1970 had come true – and revolutionize modern analogue playback technology. Optical Cartridge was initially introduce by Japan electronic maker, Toshiba in 1970s.
However due to the technology limitation, the optical cartridge design was deemed not reliable for mass production. DS Coorporation (mother company of DS Audio) is a specialized optical sensor manufacturer for more than 25 years.
