Ortofon Hi-Fi OM 5 E Moving Magnet Cartridge

$119.00

For more than 50 years, Ortofon has been designing and manufacturing Moving Magnet cartridges. Lightweight and versatile, the Super OM 5E is compatible with just about any tonearm, making it an easy upgrade for a vinyl beginner or a terrific option for a second system.

Description

Based on the OM 5E, Ortofon’s stellar entry-level cartridge, the Super OM 5E offers an even more refined experience at an approachable price. Designed with sophisticated computer simulations and built using incredibly precise machining, the Super OM 5E is the pinnacle of the OM 5 Series, offering a broader frequency range and better channel separation. Its elliptical stylus tracks the grooves of a record with ease and grace, for a more detailed, clearer sound. The OM 5s features a Spherical diamond. Spherical diamonds are robust and economic solution for play back of vinyl records. The OM 5E and Super OM 5 feature an Elliptical diamond. Elliptical diamonds are able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds due to their contoured shape. This results in better tracking and less distortion.
