The TSD Novel is the flagship of the Tondose line — the legendary EMT generator format, introduced as the TSD 15 in 1965 and used by the tens of thousands in broadcast studios, now milled from a solid block of magnesium for maximum stiffness. It carries EMT's Novel multi-layer core transducer with a multi-radius diamond on a sapphire and titanium cantilever. Mount is specified at order — X (SME style), EMT, or INT (Ortofon A). The TSD SFL is pictured; all Tondose models share the same housing.
