As its name suggests, this open-architecture moving coil cartridge excels at providing colorful and rich vocals, and highlights the powerful low and mid-end of funk and rock. The long 7-micron stylus face will handle different cutting angles well, and this cartridge is also great at providing some excitement to otherwise anemic classical system setups. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe Songbird builds upon the strengths of, and lessons learned from, the best-selling high-end cartridge in the world, The Blue Point Special. No aspect of the cartridge's design was left to chance. To avoid unwanted external resonance storage the conventional cartridge body was eliminated. This allowed for the construction of the most efficient path for evacuating internal resonance through the structure of the cartridge directly into the tonearm. This low mechanical impedance mounting system, combined with the optimization of mass, provides the perfect environment for the carefully chosen working elements of the cartridge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe coated aluminum cantilever chosen for the Songbird provides excellent energy transfer from the stylus to the coils.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSuspension Design\u003cbr\u003e\nVirtually all conventional moving coils get by with a suspension element made from a butyl material. For the Songbird, we chose to use a synthetic rubber where the hardness (10 degrees) and repulsion factor (8%) of the\nmaterial can be tightly controlled with molding temperature, cure time, and skin tension. Additionally, with this synthetic material, the specified parameters of the suspension are held to design tolerance for a longer period of time. These steps help insure the cartridge will perform as designed for a longer period of time, and will last considerably longer than other designs. The final result provides a combination of superior dynamics and excellent long term tracking ability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWhy an Elliptical Stylus Shape?\u003cbr\u003e\nYour Songbird is fitted with a specially ground, low mass stylus, a design type where the inherent character is always musical. With care and precise adjustment, tremendous amounts of detail can be extracted from the Songbird. But unlike some designs, even if it is not adjusted within a gnat's whisker of perfection, your cartridge will still deliver an intensely musical experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOld World Craftsmanship\u003cbr\u003e\nEach Songbird is painstakingly crafted by hand in a process that involves hours of labor. After assembly, final adjustments are made using a battery of test records, and performance is hand-calibrated. Each cartridge is subjected to this process and is critically auditioned before it is shipped. No computer or machine is yet capable of matching the precise adjustments necessary to extract the highest level of performance from a reference quality phono cartridge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTechnical Specifications:- \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nCartridge Type: \nMoving Coil\u003cbr\u003e\n\nStylus: \n0.3 x 0.7 micron Elliptical\u003cbr\u003e\n\nCantilever Material:\ncoated aluminum pipe \u003cbr\u003e\n\nWire Material: \npure copper\u003cbr\u003e\n\nInternal Impedance:\n135 Ohms\u003cbr\u003e \n\nLoad Impedance: \n47kΩ\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFrequency Response: \n12Hz - 40kHz\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOutput Voltage: \n2.5mV\u003cbr\u003e\n\nChannel Separation: \n30dB @ 1kHz\u003cbr\u003e\n\nChannel Balance: \n \u0026lt; 0.5dB @ 1kHz\u003cbr\u003e\n\nCompliance: \n12x10-6 cm\/dyn @ 100Hz\u003cbr\u003e\n\nRecommended load capacitance: \n100pF - 200pF\u003cbr\u003e\n\nVertical tracking angle: \n20°\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTracking Force: \n1.8g - 2.2g\u003cbr\u003e\n\nRecommended Force: \n2.0g\u003cbr\u003e\n\nCartridge Weight: \n8.5g","brand":"Sumiko","offers":[{"title":"High Out","offer_id":57415265681740,"sku":"SUMIKOSONGBIRDHIGHOUT","price":749.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Low Out","offer_id":57423923511628,"sku":"SUMIKOSONGBIRD-LOWOUT","price":749.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/Sumiko-Songbird.jpg?v=1777555481"},{"product_id":"sumiko-amethyst-mm-cartridge","title":"Sumiko Amethyst MM Cartridge","description":"Amethyst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nEasily their most ambitious moving magnet cartridge to date, the Amethyst features a nude Line-Contact stylus and an upgraded generator assembly providing ultra-low noise, hair-raising dynamics, and superior tracking.

Enhanced with a high-efficiency, low-impedance generator as well as a nude Shibata line-contact stylus, Oriole confidently asserts itself as a meaningful upgrade from Songbird that approaches the performance of our venerable Starling.  The stylus and generator deliver impeccable detail retrieval, emotionally captivating dynamics, speedy attack and sweet resolution. Deeply musical and endlessly listenable, Oriole is alluring in its wholly analog-sounding character. It portrays musical material in natural balance with its surrounding ambience, and with life-like nuance. Silent in the groove, music blossoms from a jet-black background and invites you into the most intimate spaces of a keenly-rendered soundstage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOur Reference Series open-architecture cartridges minimize the potential for coloration and distortion due to energy buildup that is sometimes propagated by the conventional cartridge body. Internal resonance is damped within the generator while remaining resonance travels up through the bonded mounting plate \u0026amp; headblock, then down the tonearm where it is dissipated harmlessly. The PEEK generator mounting plate provides the utmost stability and energy transfer while the stiff alloy headblock is the conduit through which that energy exits the cartridge. The generator itself minimizes distortion and losses through the implementation of pure metals and intelligent orientation of the same. The performance of this sophisticated generator is bolstered by our multi-faceted approach to resonance control, precipitating to clean, musical, and highly listenable sonics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n \nHand-Crafted in Japan\u003cbr\u003e\nEach Sumiko phono cartridge is hand-assembled by the world-class cartridge makers at Excel Sound in Yokohama, Japan – a relationship we’ve proudly maintained for nearly forty years.
