Made entirely by hand, as is the norm in all van den Hul designs, from an unrepeatable combination of unique experience and fanatical selection of the best materials, The Crimson is a sophisticated pickup capsule that, in the words of the legendary manufacturer Dutch, 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 reading ability and separation between channels, which allows it to offer an unparalleled spatial presentation.
