confused: which turntable cartridge used with Audible Illusions Modulus ?

Hi.. Hopefully,shortly, i will be receiving this preamp. it includes a phono section.

I am confused about low and high output cartridges and MC vs MM cartridges.

If anyone is familiar with this preamps' cartridge requirement or would like to recommend one for me i would appreciate it.

I was considering Rega Planar 3 which includes a 
  • pre-mounted Elys 2 MM Cartridge

  • WOULD THIS WORK?
thanks
