Resonance has a more significant impact than many listeners realise and Sumiko wanted to reimagine how the housing resonates around the generator in the Blue Point range. After countless hours of development, a new combination of materials alongside an improved body design and expert assembly techniques result in a cartridge where only the musical information is kept.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStraight to the Point\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThanks to Sumiko's tried and true moving coil cartridge generator system, the smoothness and subtlety one would expect from a good MC is present. Building on this, Blue Point No. 3 assembles its sonic picture from the ground up with its low-end response. Full and warm yet defined and textured, the depth of bass will invite you in to the musical image. In addition, you can expect a similar richness through the mids that remain decipherable. High-frequency attack and decay are simply sweet and airy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh or Low\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"section section-dark section-nopadding not-product-type-standard not-product-type-spare\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-block-textarea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving developed such a refinement on a classic design, introducing both a high and low output variant was a logical option considering Sumiko's competency in both high and low output MC designs. So, whether you need a cartridge that can run capably on a MM-compliant phono stage, or if you have a more adept MC design, you can get the cartridge that best suits your taste and your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenerator:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoving coil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSynthetic rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 Hz–35 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 mV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel separation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt;30 dB @ 1 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt;1 dB @ 1 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimum tracking force:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracking force range:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.8–2.2 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 × 6 cm\/dyne\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e135 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoad impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47 kOhms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylus type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.3 × 0.7 mil \/ elliptical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput terminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2 mm gold-plated (EIA)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting system:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard 0.5″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Sumiko","offers":[{"title":"Low output (for MC Phono Stage)","offer_id":56841715483010,"sku":"SUMIBLUEPOINT3LOB","price":579.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"High Output (for MC Phono Stage)","offer_id":56841715450242,"sku":"SUMIBLUEPOINT3HIB","price":579.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2792\/5768\/files\/SumikoBluePointNo.3.jpg?v=1787055328","url":"https:\/\/dougbradyhifi.com\/products\/sumiko-blue-point-no-3-moving-coil-cartridge","provider":"Doug Brady HiFi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
