Description

Designing A Legend

Within its wooden body sit the intricate workings of the Palo Santos Presentation, including a bespoke generator anchoring system that houses a sophisticated magnet system. This system uses an Alnico magnet with linear density to ensure the cartridge delivers a vast open soundstage, a natural and pure midrange, and extended but never bright high frequencies.

The whole system has substantially improved rigidity and reduces resonance and background noise to previously unheard of levels.

The long-grain boron cantilever employed in the Palo Santos provides class-leading energy transfer from the stylus to the coils. Further, the synthetic rubber suspension system optimises the hardness and repulsion factor for a controlled acoustic performance over time.

The industry-leading Palo Santos Cartridge design results in a combination of superior dynamics and excellent long term tracking ability. Finished with the sophisticated Microridge Line-Contact stylus, the Palo Santos extracts incredible amounts of detail from the record groove. The stylus boasts a precision polish and legendary clarity, lending a sweetness to the sound that can’t be found at a lower cost.

Made With Pride To Reflect Perfection

As part of the Reference Series, the Palo Santos is crafted by hand, requiring hours of labour. After assembly, Sumiko makes final adjustments using a battery of test records and hand calibrates the performance for your enjoyment.

The sound of the Palo Santos Presentation is the product not only of Sumikoโ€™s many yearsโ€™ experience in fine sound, but also of their continuing desire to reveal the vibrant and exciting colours of the analogue spectrum.
