The singing cartridge

The Sumiko Songbird is particularly well-suited for vocals and acoustic instruments. It delivers the sweetest highs over a robust, rich, yet clear lower-midrange. Like its big sibling, the Starling, the Songbird allows soundscapes to float in a very controlled manner. With the Songbird, you find yourself in the midst of naturally positioned instruments in the soundstage, very close to the intimate nuances of the musical material.

Clear and ultra-musical, equipped with just the right amount of warmth, the Songbird Low offers a deep and wide soundstage with plenty of detail. You will be amazed at the surprises it reveals even on recordings you think you already know. The Songbird Low is holographic in a way that approaches that of the Starling. A cartridge whose price is far below the typical range considering the performance achieved.

We are immensely pleased with these latest additions to our Reference Open-Body MC series. Our newest favorites - Songbird & Starling - are a powerful refinement of our proven Blackbird & BPS EVO III designs. Our new generator is securely anchored in a highly rigid, resonance-optimized housing block and can work its magic free from unwanted internal resonance with the utmost control. The generator unit is flexible and robust, offering the highest possible fidelity in a perfect balance of clarity and drama. The result is industry-leading, holographic imaging with an irresistibly 'real' feel.

The Sumiko Songbird Low is suitable for medium to heavy tonearms.
