The Voice Cartridge

Soundsmith The Voice Cartridge is the pinnacle of High Output designs from Soundsmith gaining Kudos, accolades and many “Product of the Year” awards.

Since its introduction in 2009, The Voice has won numerous “product-of-the-year” awards and is in Peter Ledermann founder of Soundsmith words probably the best High Output cartridge in production today.” His design goal was to produce the lowest moving mass high output design possible using novel and advanced technology. Featuring a single crystal Ruby Cantilever and his Optimized Contour Line Contact Stylus, he developed specialized metallurgy for the low mass moving iron system. A cartridge that disappears. After all, if it sounds like a “record” it’s wrong. The cartridge should bring you directly to the performance; not stand between you and the music.
