Particularly adept with vocals & 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, youre placed among the naturally-positioned instruments in the soundstage, close in proximity to the intimate nuances of the musical material. If youve got an MM phono section, theres a good chance Songbird High is the cartridge youve been dreaming about.

Clear and ultra-musical with just the right degree of warmth, Songbird Low offers an even deeper soundstage with greater reach width-wise. As its generally more quiet thus allowing more detail to surface, youll be shocked by the surprises it yields even in the recordings youre 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 thats well below reasonable considering the performance it achieves.
