Elevate Your SoundPush your listening experience further with the MC X30. Featuring a nude fine line diamond stylus it offers extraordinary accuracy and resolution rendering your music and every track with breathtaking detail and dynamic range.FeaturesNude Fine Line Diamond StylusQuad Pure Silver Coil SystemOptimized Magnet SystemCustom-Developed Rubber DampersHoneycomb-Structured Stainless-Steel CoreA New Benchmark in Analog PerfectionIn the world of vinyl playback the cartridge is where the journey begins. A pivotal point where music rises from the groove and transforms into immersive soundscapes. With the MC X Series Ortofon sets a new benchmark in MC cartridge design pushing premium Moving Coil technology to unprecedented levels of performance.Pure Silver Coil SystemAll MC X cartridges feature coils wound with high-purity silver wire. The use of premium materials is to ensure exceptional signal clarity delivering sound with unmatched precision and preserving every detail without interference.Magnet SystemThe MC X Series introduces a newly developed magnet system with a one-piece pole cylinder integrated into a rear magnet yoke. Engineered for maximum magnetic efficiency and paired with pure silver coils this configuration ensures a clean powerful signal path that elevates overall performance.Custom-Developed Rubber DampersIn-house produced and developed rubber compounds form the core of the MC X Series’ mechanical damping system. Rubber dampers are essential for controlling the physical movement of the coils maintaining stability minimizing unwanted vibrations and enabling precise coil motion. The result is superior tracking reduced distortion and musical accuracy.Experience the Depth. Hear Every Detail.At the core of the MC

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
