The Ortofon Concorde 5E pickup head is equipped with an elliptical diamond needle designed to accurately track the groove of the record. This needle shape provides better tracking and reduced distortion, revealing more subtle nuances in the music.
Entry-level cartridge in Ortofon MM-series offers dynamic sound. The split pole pins with a copper wire guarantees high level of detail.
Equipped with Ortofon's proprietary Field Stabilizing Element (FSE) and Wide Range Damping (WRD) systems, the MC 90X cartridge delivers precise groove tracking and an extended frequency range. The WRD system uses a platinum disc between two rubber dampers, which optimizes resonance control and ensures linearity of the frequency response.
