Van Den Hul The Crimson XGW

Completely handcrafted, as is the norm for all van den Hul designs, from an unrepeatable combination of unique expertise and fanatical selection of the finest materials, The Crimson is a sophisticated pick-up capsule that, in the words of the legendary Dutch manufacturer, can be considered a hybrid of the sensational The Condor and The Canary.

With a unique aesthetic thanks to its wooden (XGW version) or polycarbonate (XGP version) body, the combined use of voice coils with monocrystalline gold windings and a powerful samarium-cobalt magnet allows The Crimson to excel in readability and channel separation, enabling it to offer an unparalleled spatial presentation.
