The Quempas Line
“Quempas” is a traditional polyphonic Christmas song. In terms of generator design, the TEDESKA Mono Quempas line shares many similarities with the Eins line. Its air-cored vertical-axis generator forms the centerpiece of this system group. By combining this time-proven principle with innovative materials—such as rare-earth lightweight magnet variation and high-purity silver windings—the TEDESKA Quempas line marks a new chapter in the evolution of true mono cartridge design.
