Overview

Discover the Ortofon Cadenza Black phono cartridge, a true technological feat for discerning vinyl enthusiasts. This high-end MC cartridge offers incredibly neutral, dynamic, and pure sound reproduction. It is designed to capture every detail of your music and provide an immersive listening experience. Thanks to its advanced technical characteristics and high-quality construction, the Cadenza Black is an exceptional cartridge that guarantees top-notch audio performance.

Cutting-edge technology

The Ortofon Cadenza Black phono cartridge features an MC technology generator, offering optimal conductivity thanks to its 99.9999% pure silver (6N) and gold-plated (Aucurum) moving coil. The winding of the coils has been optimized to ensure excellent channel separation, while the WRD damping technology allows for separate control of low and high frequencies. The neodymium magnets, renowned for their powerful magnetic field, ensure precise capture of the micro-variations in the record grooves. The Nude Shibata profile diamond, mounted on a boron cantilever, ensures accurate tracking of the grooves and an exceptional level of detail.

Quality construction

The Ortofon Cadenza Black phono cartridge is designed with high-quality materials to ensure optimal audio performance. Its chassis is made of a stainless steel and aluminum alloy, offering both strength and reduced resonance. The cartridge’s setup is facilitated by an integrated threaded mount, while the connection between the cartridge and the headshell is made at three points for effective decoupling and vibration reduction.
