Description
Specification

The pickup head with a Sumiko Songbird Low movable coil is built on the basis of the famous Blue point Special model, all the structural elements of which have been substantially modified. Much attention was paid to the suppression of resonances and damping of the cartridge in order to make the sound as transparent and detailed as possible.

Sumiko Songbird Low has a small output voltage, which is generally characteristic of MC-type models (with a movable coil), but this must be taken into account when choosing a suitable phono corrector for it. In some cases, it is recommended to use special step-up transformers to connect MC cartridges, which, in turn, are designed for connection with conventional MM phono correctors.

Exceptionally high performance was achieved thanks to the use of a special open housing and a rigid attachment of the generator (converter). This design makes it possible to effectively eliminate external and internal parasitic resonances. The converter mechanism is attached to a rigid console tilted at a slight angle, and the housing itself is made of aluminum and processed on high-precision machines with numerical control. The internal wiring is made using a wire made of purified copper, which improves conductivity and transmits a signal with minimal losses. Model Sumiko Songbird L it has a characteristic blue color, and for mounting in the shell of the tonearm, there are a pair of threaded holes on its upper panel.

The pickup head is equipped with a light needle with an elliptical profile, which is attached to a light and sufficiently rigid tubular needle holder made of aluminum with a special coating. The suspension element is made of synthetic rubber, which, according to Sumiko, is more effective and durable compared to the traditionally used butyl.
