Making a New Icon

The Blue Point No. 3 was born out of an investigation into the long-standing Blue Point No. 2's more limited anti-resonance properties. 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.

Straight to the Point

Thanks 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.

High or Low?

Having 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.
