Ortofon MC5 X5 MC

The FG 70 diamond offers a very high level of detail, and is also capable of reading the grooves and reproducing even the highest frequencies.

The X5-MC cartridge has an output level of 2 mV which, while sufficient to be paired with a moving magnet (MM) phono preamp, preserves the finesse and precision of reproduction characteristic of moving coil cartridges.

Moving coil cartridge: MC X5 MC
