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

True to Music with Tremendous ClarityThe Cadenza Blue model uses a Nude FG 70 stylus with a very thin ruby cantilever and the coils are made from 6NX (99.9999 %) pure silver wire. The soundstage of Cadenza Blue is wide open and grandiose straight out of the box. Micro dynamic and ambience will be evident when listening to complex compositions.The people at Ortofon are constantly looking for new technology to be used in their products and push the performance of existing technology. Thus they assure the highest level of performance and quality. The Kontrapunkt models and MC Jubilee became market standards and are among their most popular cartridges. Nevertheless Ortofon decided to develope a new cartridge series that is even more ambitious.By carefully implementing cobalt-iron pole pieces new and improved winding process on the armature and using extruded aluminum housing in the models as well as other changes Ortofon has been able to reveal new possibilities in performing the analogue information. It was also decided to make a more complete range of cartridges which meant an introduction of a moving coil Cadenza Mono model to support customers who have an extended interest in micro groove mono records.What's in the Box:MC Cadenza Blue Moving CoilSpecificationsOutput voltage at 1kHz 5cm/sec.: 0.5mVChannel balance at 1kHz: 23dBChannel separation at 15kHz: >15dBFrequency range at -3dB: 20Hz - 50kHzFrequency response: 20Hz - 20kHz +2/-1Tracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force: 80μmCompliance dynamic lateral: 12μm/mNStylus type: Nude FG 70 on Ruby cantileverStylus tip radius: r/R 6/70Tracking force range: 2.2g - 2.7g (22 - 27mN
