The entry level design captures more than its share of recorded beauty —by
design. Big soundstage, detail and resolution at an affordable price.
The Otello is Soundsmith’s entry level Fixed Coil design, realizing an
affordable pathway into the world of high-performance cartridges. Built by hand
like all Soundsmith cartridges, the Otello provides a perfect balance of tone
and resolution at a great price. The result is a cartridge that is at ease with
any type of music. Just slightly warmer than other Soundsmith designs, Otello
yields a richness of timbre that is utterly beguiling with a level of speed and
dynamic range that no other cartridge in this price. The result? A wonderful
design that gives the warmth of MM and the light-footedness of Moving Iron
design.
Also available in dual-coil mono.
