The Olympia is a high-output moving-magnet phono cartridge in Sumiko’s Oyster Series. It uses a 0.3 × 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, an aluminum pipe cantilever, and high-purity copper coils. Its standard half-inch mount and 4.0 mV output make it suitable for conventional MM phono inputs; the stylus assembly is replaceable with compatible Sumiko Oyster-series stylus units.
