Replacing the renowned Pearwood Celebration, one of the few truly reference and reasonably priced capsules available on the world market, the Sumiko Celebration II is the result of incorporating the latest advances in material technology and construction techniques, which have had resulting in a significant improvement in sound quality. Among these improvements we should highlight a new body manufactured completely by hand and, above all, a new very low mass stylus (P9) signed by Ogura Jewel Co. (Vital Design) that has made it possible to extend both ends of the response curve in frequency and improve mid-range articulation.
Characteristics:
- Reference moving coil (MC) cartridge.
- 0.5 mV output at 1,000 Hz.
- Ogura Jewel P9 very low mass elliptical stylus, boron cantilever and synthetic rubber suspension.
- Manufactured and calibrated completely by hand.
- Frequency response: 10 - 40,000 Hz, +/-1.5 dB.
