The SOUNDSMITH IROX Blue Moving Iron-Pickup

The 'unbreakable' element of its stability is bought by this pickup with only minor concessions to the depth of detail. The needle carrier and suspension are made of a special alloy, the diamond set is elliptically cut.

Unbreakable. Really. We wouldn't say it if it weren't true. The industry has long waited for an unbreakable cartridge solution that plays with outstanding authority. Wait no more. Made in the USA.

Soundsmith introduces two levels of performance in 'unbreakable' designs. A perfect solution for heavy duty use, parties, institutions, and anywhere there is a potential handling issue or danger of misuse.
Enter the IROX series. High and ultra-high performance from a low mass moving iron design that will make you a believer.

Also available in dual-coil mono.
