SUMIKO
Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges
Black Pearl
The Black Pearl builds on the strength
of the Oyster with the addition of
a smaller diameter spherical stylus
and a more advanced generator
assembly. The resulting richer
output, greater separation and wider
frequency range from this moving
magnet cartridge means a more
complete sonic picture is realized
from every recording played.
Pearl
The Pearl provides the best qualities
that moving magnet cartridges have
to offer; low noise, wide dynamics and
exceptional trackability. Its elliptical
stylus and sophisticated generator
allows the Pearl to retrieve more
information from your recordings
while reducing wear on the groove
walls. The Pearl’s frequency response
is smooth and extended with
exceptional channel separation
across the frequency spectrum.
Oyster
The Oyster, with its bonded spherical
stylus and rugged generator assembly,
is for those seeking the most costeffective moving magnet cartridge to
use in the widest applications. Ideal
for use in the vast array of entry-level
performance turntables and flexible
enough to play 45 and 78 rpm
recordings with excellent results,
the Oyster is a perfect choice.
