The MC Quintet Series was created using the highest engineering standards and is consistent with Ortofon's unwavering dedication to offering the most accurate and exact reproduction without colouration. The ensemble of five classic colour variants is represented by the five Quintet Series cartridges, each of which has its own unique audible expression.
A special ABS (Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene) thermoplastic material is used for manufacturing the body. This lightweight, impact-resistant material is very suitable for injection moulding and provides a very durable scratch-resistant surface.
Neodymium magnets are implemented within Quintet models to achieve an optimal output. Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load and therefore ensures compatibility with the widest range of preamps and transformers.
Top mounting of the Quintet cartridges is easy and secure using the screws supplied. The aluminium frame has threaded mounting holes and is fitted easily with the 5mm or 7mm screws depending on the thickness of the headshell. Alongside this, the Quintet series’ right angles, straight lines, stylus visibility and ample distance between the record surface and the cartridge’s bottom will make it easy to mount and align the cartridge and tonearm correctly with almost any tonearm.
