Who Is Sumiko?

CLEAR, ACCURATE AND BALANCED ANALOG REPRODUCTION

Since the production of the first Sumiko cartridge in 1982, Sumiko has been focused on creating phono cartridges that combine state of the art technical performance with the practical requirements of superb tracking and a musical, non-fatiguing, sonic presentation.

From our budget-friendly Oyster Moving Magnet models, to our Low Output Moving Coil Reference cartridge designs, all Sumiko Cartridges are hand-built in Japan by skilled artisans to excel at the reproduction of analog music.
