Ortofon Stylus 530 MK II
Presentation of the Ortofon 530 MkII Stylus
The Ortofon 530 MkII stylus is a replacement diamond designed for Ortofon phono cartridges of the 530 MkII, 530, and 530 P series. Manufactured in Denmark by Ortofon, this stylus is intended to provide optimal playback quality for vinyl records.
Extended Frequency Response
The 530 MkII stylus offers a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz with a variation of +/- 3 dB. This allows for faithful reproduction of all the nuances of recordings, from bass to treble. Its tracking ability of 70 µm at 315 Hz ensures precise playback, even on dynamic and complex passages, thus restoring the full harmonic richness of the records.
Fine Line Nude Diamond
Equipped with a fine line nude diamond with a tip radius of 8 µm on the vertical plane and 40 µm on the horizontal plane (r/R 8/40 µm), the 530 MkII ensures optimal contact with the record grooves. This design allows for precise playback and notable sound clarity. The nude diamond, made from a single piece, reduces moving mass, thereby improving dynamics, transparency, and the reproduction of micro-details.
High Compliance
With a lateral dynamic compliance of 25 µm/mN, the 530 MkII stylus follows the grooves smoothly and precisely. Combined with a recommended tracking force of 1.5 g (range of 1.25 to 1.75 g), this feature ensures faithful and distortion-free playback while preserving the vinyl from wear. The 20° tracking angle ensures ideal alignment of the stylus with the groove walls, offering a wide and well-defined soundstage.
Design and Compatibility
The Ortofon 530 MkII stylus, with its black and gray design, easily integrates with your cartridge. Replacement is simple: just unclip the old diamond and install the new one. Compatible with Ortofon phono cartridges of the 530 MkII, 530, and 530 P series, this stylus is ideal for revitalizing your playback system and fully enjoying your vinyl collection.
