Product details

A modern MM system from Ortofon: easy installation, very versatile for use with all good medium-weight tonearms.

The sound is exemplary neutral, but by no means sterile. On the contrary: this cartridge delivers enjoyment, playing beautifully dynamic and engaging with surprisingly good spatial representation. The tracking behavior is very good. The cartridge harmonizes with all well-known tonearms that are not overly lightweight.

The system is mounted from above with two screws (standard half-inch mounting), and the housing has threaded holes.
