Grado Statement4 Lineage Series Phono Cartridge, Mono
Grado Lineage Statement4 Mono Moving Iron Phono Cartridge
What You Need to Know
Flagship-Class Mono Playback Begins Here
The Grado Lineage Statement4 Mono Moving Iron Phono Cartridge brings Grado’s cost-no-object Lineage platform—Brazilian ebony body, machined boron cantilever, nude Shibata diamond, 7N OCC copper coils—to dedicated mono playback. Hand-assembled at Grado’s original Brooklyn factory, it treats your mono records with the seriousness they deserve.
For collections built around original mono jazz and classical pressings, this is where playback becomes an event.
Why a Dedicated Mono Cartridge?
Mono records carry music in the groove’s side-to-side motion only. A true mono cartridge reads exactly that—so the surface noise, wear, and vertical artifacts a stereo cartridge picks up simply disappear. As Grado puts it, a mono cartridge makes your records quieter and more musical.
Phase anomalies vanish, the center image locks in, and no mono switch is needed—both channels carry the identical signal.
True Mono Generator, Flagship Execution
Grado doesn’t simply bridge a stereo cartridge. The Statement4 Mono uses a revised, mono-dedicated version of the flux-bridger generator, wound with ultra-high-purity 7N OCC copper and cryogenically treated during both component preparation and final assembly.
Nude Shibata on Machined Boron, Brazilian Ebony Body
The Shibata profile rides portions of the groove wall untouched by decades of conical styli, often making vintage mono pressings sound startlingly fresh. The boron cantilever delivers it all with instant speed, while the dense Brazilian ebony body keeps the background silent and the presentation composed.
Low-Output Design, Hand-Built in Brooklyn
The Statement4 Mono is a low-output (1.0mV) design for use with high-gain phono stages. Each one is built to order and hand-assembled at the family-owned Grado factory that has built cartridges in Brooklyn since 1953.
Building Your System
The Statement4 Mono belongs on a reference-quality turntable and tonearm with a high-gain phono stage. Unlike low-output moving coils, it loads at standard 10k–47k ohms—no fussy impedance matching required.
Please note: mono versions are built to order by Grado—allow additional lead time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a moving coil phono preamp or mono switch?
You need added gain for the 1.0mV output, but it loads at standard 10k–47k ohms—any quality high-gain phono stage works. No mono switch is needed; both channels carry the identical signal.
Can I play stereo records with it?
The mono version is purpose-built for mono pressings. For stereo records, use the stereo Statement4—serious collectors typically run both.
How does it compare to the Timbre Reference4 Mono?
The Statement4 Mono moves up to the flagship Lineage platform: Brazilian ebony, 7N OCC copper, and Grado’s tightest assembly tolerances for a quieter, more transparent mono presentation.
Who is the Statement4 Mono designed for?
It’s ideal for audiophiles with prized mono collections who want flagship-class playback with the warmth only a wood-bodied Grado delivers.

- True mono generator — reads horizontal groove movement only. Vertical noise on mono records is mechanically ignored at the generator before it enters the signal. Quieter backgrounds and more coherent mono imaging than any stereo cartridge in mono mode.
- Lineage Series architecture applied to mono playback — Brazilian Ebony body, machined boron cantilever, nude Shibata diamond, OCC copper. No compromise in materials vs. the stereo Statement4.
- Brazilian Ebony wood body — extreme density for stability, mass damping, and resonance control. Particularly valuable for mono playback where background quietness is paramount.
- Nude Shibata diamond — precise horizontal groove tracing for maximum retrieval of mono record content. Nude construction for minimum tip mass.
- Machined boron cantilever — precision-formed, high stiffness-to-mass ratio, resonant frequency well above audible range.
- Ultra-high purity OCC copper internal signal path.
- Low-output only — MC gain required. No high-output Lineage mono version exists.
