About the The Voice (Ebony)
The Voice (Ebony) is Soundsmith's top-of-the-line high-output moving iron cartridge, featuring a hand-crafted ebony body and units handpicked from the top 5% of production. It uses a single crystal ruby cantilever and an Optimized Contour Contact Line Nude diamond stylus (0.100mm square) for ultra-low moving mass and exceptional tracking. The cartridge delivers a bold, vibrant sound with excellent scale, a quiet background, and a balanced midrange and top-end. It is highly regarded for its transparency, smoothness, and ability to reveal musical detail without exaggerating surface noise. The Voice (Ebony) is designed to be used with a moving magnet preamp and does not require a moving coil preamp. It has won numerous product-of-the-year awards and is considered one of the best high-output cartridges available.
