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.
