Songbird Low Phono Cartridge Next-Gen Moving Coil Phono Pickup Particularly adept with vocals & acoustic instruments, Songbird was created to make genuine moving coil imaging available to any listener. It delivers the sweetest highs over a robust, 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. Our Latest Reference Open-Body MCs Clear 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. Hand-Crafted in Japan Stunningly holographic in a manner that approaches that of Starling, Songbird Low maximizes the refinement of your MC system at a value that’s well below reasonable considering the performance it achieves. If you’ve got an MM phono section, there’s a good chance Songbird High is the cartridge you’ve been dreaming about.
