SOUNDSMITH OTELLO
SOUNDSMITH OTELLO
Our 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 Moving Iron design, realizing
an affordable pathway into the world of high performance
cartridges. Build 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 dynamics not often found in cartridges at this price. The
result? A wonderful design that gives the warmth of MM and the
lightfootedness of Moving Iron design.
