Durawood Bee Yellow / Black

The Aidas Durawood Bee brings the essential virtues of the CU Series into vivid focus. Its body is hewn from durawood—a dense, DIN 7707-compliant composite with properties approaching those of panzerholz, one of the hardest wood materials known. The striking yellow and black colouration gives the cartridge its name, while the material’s inherent rigidity provides exceptional control over unwanted resonance.

At its heart lies a generator built around pure 6N copper coils, chosen for their natural, unforced tonal character. The Namiki adamant boron composite cantilever and Micro Ridge stylus ensure precise tracking and extended retrieval of fine detail, while Aidas’s signature double-damping system provides stability and composure even in demanding passages. For those seeking an entry into the Aidas sound, the Durawood Bee offers a compelling balance of performance, craftsmanship, and visual distinction.
