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.
