Zephyr MIMC Star

The Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star (also styled “Zephyr MIMC ☆”) is a low-output, fixed-coil / moving-iron cartridge designed for MC-preamp users who want high-end performance without going to ultra-premium price. It blends technology and materials from Soundsmith’s higher-end designs (like the Sussurro) to deliver rich detail, good dynamics, and even frequency balance. Because it’s “MIMC” (Moving Iron for Moving Coil preamps), it gives much of the sound of a good MC but with some different mechanical advantages.
