Sabre is a Hi-End Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge designed and hand-crafted to exacting standards at Vertere in the UK to ensure an uncompromised musical experience.

Sabre’s body is precision machined from solid Aluminium alloy with its final mass perfectly tuned to the generator for ideal support and control of unwanted mechanical vibrations. In turn, the generator is uniquely fixed to the body via four ‘spike’ screws that are precisely positioned and torqued for maximum rigidity and performance. Cartridge mounting is via two machined threaded fixing holes. Also supplied with the cartridge are two Vertere stainless steel thumb screws designed to ensure correct coupling of the cartridge body to the tonearm head-shell.

Three specially designed contact areas machined on top of the cartridge body provide the exact mechanical coupling that is required by the Sabre cartridge to the tonearm. In addition, there is a ridge machined on the top front of the Sabre to assist with the alignment of the cartridge when mounting onto any Vertere tonearm. Sabre utilises an Alnico magnet providing long-term stable magnetism and strong magnetic field to size ratio.

Each Sabre‘s cantilever/suspension is individually positioned and aligned at Vertere to ensure maximum musical performance. The Elliptical diamond stylus tip is rigidly fixed and bonded to an aluminium tube cantilever designed for maximum tracking ability without compromising on high frequency response or low surface noise. Sabre has an extended response of below 15Hz to over 25kHz which when coupled with its low mass moving magnet and an output of 4.0mV creates a lifelike dynamic range and scale with incredible detail, low frequency ‘punch’, depth and precision.

Hi-Fi Choice - Group Test Winner

"The Vertere Sabre has me captivated right from the first piece that I spin. It presents a totally believable sound, whether playing a solo instrument or a full orchestra. Bass is tight and punchy, and the midrange and topend clear, refined and totally captivating.”

SoundStage! Australia
“Buying both the Sabre MM cartridge and PHONO-1 MkII L means the customer has acquired a pairing which has been made from 'the ground up' to work in perfect unison. These two are highly recommended!”

HiFi Pig

"There’s a purity of tone here that suggest the Sabre is quite a neutral cartridge with regards to what it adds to the record. There is still that slight warmth when compared to the Red but that’s not to suggest that the Sabre is flat or dull, it’s just not as (and I know this is a crap description) sparkly. It is, however, a lovely and relaxed listen that doesn’t seem to accentuate any of the frequency band overly. The contra-bass has a real depth of tone to it that the cartridge pulls out well and there’s a good degree of detail to the guitar.”

What Hi-Fi?

"It’s clear that the Vertere Sabre is a terrific performer for the money. It tracks securely and is nicely made, but most importantly of all makes us want to listen to our records even more.”

Hi-Fi News

"I adore the Sabre. It’s richer-sounding than current MMs in my experience, but no less detailed and precise, with plenty of speed and attack for coping with transients. While there’s still a magical warmth to moving-coils which separates them from moving-magnets, this narrows the gap to insignificance.”

The Ear

"In the following week, as luck would have it, I received Vertere’s Phono 1 phono stage for review. Having read the (flipping) manual, I set the dip switches for a moving magnet cartridge and plugged in the LP12 once again. I went back to the Paul Chambers album with which I had started my review listening, and oh… my… goodness. Through the Gold Note I had found the sound engrossing, but pairing the Sabre with its stablemate was revelatory. The soundstage grew even wider, taller and deeper, and the sheer musical involvement was now quite astonishing.”

The Vinyl Factory

"Hand-crafted to rigid standards, audiophile-centred, and carrying a sound profile that is unparalleled, at this price point, it’s hard to not choose Vertere Acoustics’ Sabre moving magnet cartridge. The cartridge comes with a high-quality micro elliptical diamond stylus that keeps tracking accurate without compromising overall sound. You can also expect a lifelike, detailed, dynamic sound, boasting a low-end that’s incredibly punchy.”
