Sumiko Blue Point 3 Low
The Sumiko Blue Point 3 Low is the low output version of the well known Blue Point series. Its 0.5 mV output requires a dedicated MC phono input or a step up transformer. The elliptical stylus tracks from 1.8 to 2.2 g with 2.0 g nominal. The stylus is integrated, so a worn diamond calls for retipping.

Additional Info
The Sumiko Blue Point 3 Low is a balanced, forgiving low-output MC with a naturally composed character. Its elliptical tip on an aluminum cantilever delivers smooth, relaxed vocals and a coherent, unforced top end, while imaging stays stable and well-focused rather than hyper-analytical. Controlled but never lean bass keeps every genre fatigue-free. The stylus is integrated, so only a retip cures wear.
