Ortofon MC Quintet Blue

Overview

Ortofon's MC Quintet Blue is a very homogeneous cartridge whose sound image will tend to more smooth reproduction compared to Quintet Red and moderate dynamic strength compared to Quintet Bronze. It features a Nude Elliptical diamond mounted on an aluminium cantilever. The Quintet Blue will bring more space, depth and detail into the sound and is a very good choice for any kind of music, especially rhythmic.

Each of the five Quintet Series cartridges has its own individual sonic expression, and all five models together represent the ensemble of five classic variations. MC Quintet Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more details.

Key features

• Light weight and durable cartridge body made from a special ABS (Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene) thermoplastic material
• Neodymium magnets are implemented to achieve an optimal output
• Delivers more space, depth and detail into the sound and is a very good choice for any kind of music, especially rhythmic
• Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load and therefore ensures compatibility with the widest range of preamps and transformers
• Nude Elliptical stylus profile
• Supplied with 2 screws (M2.5 x 5)
