The current OM Series range encompasses three cartridges, OM 5S, OM 5E & Super OM 5, but is based on a long history of models, so there are also a variety of stylus upgrades available.
Ingeniously tucked into the top of the mounting bracket is a tiny, removable weight-plate. If your tonearm is a standard tonearm, just leave the weight-plate. If your tonearm is one of the low mass types, then simply remove the weight – the mass of your OM cartridge is now a mere 2.5g.
The series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps. By adopting a wide range of replacement styli, the OM 5 Series can provide an optimum match for your home system, application and budget.
The OM 5 Series body is manufactured from Noryl (plastic & glass compound), a lightweight material, which ensures high rigidity and freedom from resonances. By means of computer simulations it has also been possible to define the natural pivot point of the system with unprecedented accuracy while achieving an optimum oscillation balance. The result: improved linearity, higher channel separation and reduced distortion.
