Ortofon - 2M Verso Moving Magnet Cartridge - Red

Designed for Precise and Accurate Retrieval of InformationThe 2M Mono headshell is a practical and elegant solution for customers who wish direct and easy mounting and replacement on their tonearm. The combination of 2M headshell and 2M Series cartridge adds unique distinction to the turntable! HighlightsAn improved engine which provides a high level of sonic accuracyR 18µ Nude Spherical stylus that is an optimal solution for playing mono microgroove LP vinyl recordsFeaturesAdvancements in SoundThe 2M Series features Ortofon’s trademark split pole pins an invention which enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response as with a moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon and were originally presented in the 500 and Ortofon OM Series.Ease of UseThe weight and size of 2M Series have been optimized to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The cartridge body has also been streamlined to provide easy mounting and alignment. The name “2M” was chosen as it represents the abbreviation for moving magnet MM. Moving magnet cartridges provide excellent compatibility in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.Stylus TypesAll of the 2M cartridges feature diamonds that are polished to the highest standards of the industry.The 2M Mono features a 18 µm Nude Spherical stylus that is an optimal solution for playing mono microgroove vinyl records. It also features an optimized engine for superior sound quality and uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins. This effectively eliminates the need for mono-specific equipment making it easily possible to enjoy true mono reproduction on any stereo playback system. What's in the Box:2M Mono Moving Magnet CartridgeStylus brushScrewdriverScrewsSpecificationsOutput voltage at 1kHz 5cm/sec.: 4mVFrequency range at -3dB: 20 - 22000HzFrequency response: 20 - 20000Hz

MC Cadenza Red delivers open dynamic sound with a touch of warmth.FeaturesOpen Dynamic SoundNude Fine Line StylusCylindrical Aluminum Cantilever6NX 99.9999% Pure Silver Coil WireAccuracy levelThe sound picture of the Cadenza Red is relaxed homogeneous and moderately dynamic and has great space and depth in the stereo image. The Cadenza Red model is using a Nude Fine Line stylus with a cylindrical aluminium cantilever. The stylus tip radius is r/R 8/40 µm.The coils are made from 6NX (99.9999 %) pure silver wire. An improved winding process on the armature allows a better channel balance.The Cadenza seriesAt Ortofon we perpetually seek fresh technologies to incorporate into our products driving the advancement of current technologies. This commitment ensures the attainment of the utmost performance and quality. The Kontrapunkt models and MC Jubilee have set benchmarks in the market emerging as some of our most sought-after cartridges. Yet in spite of this success Ortofon has chosen to embark on the development of a novel cartridge series that aspires to even greater heights.Each of the five Cadenza Series cartridges has its own individual sonic expression and all five models together represent the ensemble of five classic variations.What's in the BoxMC Cadenza Moving Coil CartridgeSpecificationsOutput voltage at 1kHz 5cm/sec.: 0.45mVChannel balance: 23dBChannel separation at 15kHz: >15dBFrequency range at -3dB: 20Hz - 50kHzFrequency response: 20kHz - 20kHz -+3/-1Tracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force: -80μmCompliance dynamic lateral: 12μm/mNStylus type: Nude fine line on Alu can

Cadenza Black is the best of everything true to the groove with resolution and accurate insight into each recording.FeaturesNude Shibata StylusBoron CantileverWide Range Damping SystemGold-Plated Aucurum Coil WireDetailed Sound StagingHigh-Resolution Groove InsightAccuracy LevelThe Cadenza Black model is using a Nude Shibata stylus with a boron cantilever. The effective mass of the stylus/cantilever system is extremely low due to the use of a very thin boron rod. This material is extremely stiff and even more lightweight than aluminum.Wide Range DampingIt also uses the WRD/Wide Range Damping-system applied for MC Windfeld MC A90 MC Anna Xpression and MC A95 cartridges controlling the high and low frequency damping separately. The coil wire is the famous Ortofon Aucurum wire which is a gold-plated 6NX copper wire. The Cadenza Black is high-performing on areas like detail consistency and sound staging.The Cadenza SeriesAt Ortofon we constantly look for new technology to be used in our products and push the performance of existing technology. Thus we assure the highest level of performance and quality. The Kontrapunkt models and MC Jubilee became market standards and are among our most popular cartridges. Nevertheless Ortofon decided to develop a new cartridge series that is even more ambitious.What's in the BoxMC Cadenza Black Moving CoilStylus BrushLeadwiresScrewsSpecificationsOutput voltage at 1kHz 5cm/sec.: 0.33mVChannel balance at 1kHz: 27dBChannel separation at 15kHz: >20dBFrequency range at -3dB: 20Hz - 60kHzFrequency response: 20Hz - 20kHz -+1.5/-0Tracking ability at 315Hz at recom
