Ortofon MC1 Turbo

The MC-1 Turbo is an excellent entry into the world of high-output moving coil (MC) cartridges, with an elliptical stylus profile.

The MC-1 Turbo has an output of 3.3 mV, making it perfect for use with integrated phono preamps - specially designed for Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges.

The MC-1 Turbo gives a taste of the linearity and precision of moving coils, but without the need for additional high-gain preamps or transformers.
