About the Zephyr mkII

The Soundsmith Zephyr MkII phono cartridge employs 'Trickle Down' Technology from the Energy Distribution System used in the high-end Sussurro cartridge. It features a selected low mass contact line diamond stylus mounted on an aluminum cantilever, providing remarkable separation, soundstage, and imaging. The composite body and unique energy distribution system enable high-end performance at a moderate price. It is a high output moving iron design compatible with standard moving magnet preamps, requiring no transformers or ultra-high gain preamps. The cartridge is suitable for tonearms with effective mass between 8g and 30g. It offers virtually hum-free operation due to six-sided HyMu80 magnetic shielding and delivers clarity and beauty that encourages listening to vinyl collections anew.
