Soundsmith Zephyr MkIII Cartridge

The new Zephyr MK III is a unique blend of Soundsmith designs being a low compliance, high output design compatible with MM preamps. It has achieved rapid recognition as a leading force in phono cartridge design and performance.

The cartridge features a newly developed aluminum alloy that provides smooth response without masking critical details. This new metal alloy has unique dualistic properties, providing stiffness and damping in the most critical parts of the sonic spectrum.

It is equipped with a tiny new super low mass "High Profile" Contact Line diamond stylus that traces high frequencies very well, dramatically reducing end of record playback challenges while being far superior to standard elliptical designs.

The design incorporates "Trickle Down" technology from a unique Dynamic Energy Management System (DEMS) developed by Soundsmith that moves the damped energy and propagates it properly within the cartridge body.

The Zephyr MkIII is capable of remarkable separation and sound stage imaging at a level not previously achievable in a modestly priced design. The composite body and unique DEMS design work together to produce high-end performance.

Soundsmith promises that the Zephyr MkIII will provide a level of clarity and beauty that will make you want to listen to your entire record collection again.

Made in the USA, the cartridge comes with a 2-year warranty to the original owner and offers a rebuild service at approximately 20% of its original price.

Available in both standard and dual-coil mono versions.
