Sumiko - Songbird Low

Low Output Moving Coil Phono Cartridge

The low output rendition of Songbird represents the peak performance of this design. Moving mass and internal impedance are dramatically reduced by requiring far fewer turns of copper in the coils. As a result, detail, dynamics, resolution, and transients all improve. Like the high output version, Songbird Low benefits from our famous open-architecture design that prevents intrusive resonance from coloring and distorting sound. It is clear but not forward, approaching music with tonal balance and cohesive, intelligent soundstaging. Highs are sweet and extended, mids are rich and clear. Bass is full, textured and deep-reaching. There is an understated elegance in its ability to effortlessly portray the whole sonic picture — nothing overdone, nothing underdone. Free of fatiguing distractions, it draws you deeply into the soundstage wherein you can enjoy the most intimate nuances of your favorite recordings. Images are confidently suspended and rife with dynamic allure, always encouraging you keep on listening.
