Olympia MM
The Olympia features a finely polished elliptical stylus for a level of acoustic refinement that defies belief. In combination with the range’s integrated body and generator system that significantly reduces internal resonances, the Olympia delivers greater dynamic punch from a broad frequency response.
The improved stylus also sits on a bespoke cantilever, mounted to a smaller magnet for more precise movements. This results in greater channel separation and a slightly lower but still powerful 4mV output.
Latest Generation Oysters
Designed for discerning, value-minded vinyl lovers, Sumiko’s latest generation premium moving magnet Oysters build upon, enhance and refine the sonic character that listeners worldwide have enjoyed for decades. The cartridge body design of the Sumiko Olympia addresses the problem of resonance. It disperses and dissipates it away from the generator system, resulting in a sound quality reminiscent of moving coil designs.
Made In Japan
From Oyster to Reference, each Sumiko phono cartridge is crafted by hand in Yokohama, Japan, near the waters where their namesake Oysters dwell. They’ve selected by ear the finest materials that combine to deliver a performance that has enlightened generations of listeners.
Sumiko thoroughly auditions each design until it is perfect. Production is then executed by world-class cartridge makers with a collective eye for precision and quality when making the Olympia Moving Magnet.
