Unbreakable. Really. We wouldn’t say it if it weren’t true. The industry has long waited for an unbreakable cartridge solution that plays with outstanding authority. Wait no more. Made in  the USA.

Soundsmith introduces two levels of performance in “unbreakable” designs. A perfect solution for heavy duty use, parties, institutions, and anywhere there is a potential handling issue or danger of misuse.

Enter the IROX series. High and Ultra-high performance from a low mass moving iron design that will make you a believer.
