{"product_id":"sumiko-songbird-mc-cartridge","title":"Sumiko - Songbird High MC Cartridge","description":"\u003cp\u003eParticularly adept with vocals \u0026amp; acoustic instruments, Sumiko created Songbird to make genuine moving coil imaging available to any listener. It delivers the sweetest highs over a robust, rich yet clear low-midrange. Like its big sibling Starling, Songbird suspends sonic images in a highly controlled manner. As opposed to music being flung from your speakers, you’re placed among the naturally-positioned instruments in the soundstage, close in proximity to the intimate nuances of the musical material. If you’ve got an MM phono section, there’s a good chance Songbird High is the cartridge you’ve been dreaming about. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear and ultra-musical with just the right degree of warmth, Songbird Low offers an even deeper soundstage with greater reach width-wise. As it’s generally more quiet thus allowing more detail to surface, you’ll be shocked by the surprises it yields even in the recordings you’re most familiar with. Stunningly holographic in a manner that approaches that of Starling, Songbird Low maximizes the refinement of your MC system at a price that’s well below reasonable considering the performance it achieves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCartridge Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoving Coil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMass\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.5g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 x 18 x 28.5mm (WxHxD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStylus\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.3 x 0.7mil Elliptical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCantilever Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e?0.5mm Treated Aluminum Pip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCoils\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-Purity Copper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInternal Impedance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e135Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLoad Impedance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47kΩ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12Hz - 40kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOutput Voltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5mV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChannel Separation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30dB @ 1kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChannel Balance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt; 0.5dB @ 1kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompliance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12x10-6 cm\/dyn @ 100Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended load capacitance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100pF - 200pF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVertical tracking angle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTracking Force\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.8g - 2.2g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended Force\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Sumiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63812395073913,"sku":"844682009308","price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/7219\/3401\/files\/Sumiko_SongBirdHi_0619.jpg?v=1782101053","url":"https:\/\/noirvinyl.com\/products\/sumiko-songbird-mc-cartridge","provider":"NOIR VINYL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
