Description

The Ortofon Cadenza Black Moving Coil Cartridge is a high-end precision MC cartridge. The Cadenza Series of high-end Moving Coil (MC) cartridges was born out of the success of Ortofon’s Kontrapunkt and MC Jubilee models. Though those models are amongst the most popular Ortofon has ever produced, the Danish cartridge masters still decided to develop a new range that was even more ambitious.

  • Sound optimised for tonal neutrality, amazing dynamics and true-to-the-groove information retrieval
  • Overhead mounting cartridge for installing into a headshell
  • Moving Coil cartridge design
  • Stainless steel and aluminium body construction
  • Nude Shibata diamond stylus
  • Superior boron cantilever

CADENZA BLACK TECHNOLOGY

The Cadenza Black is a flagship-status cartridge that boasts a pristine-cut Nude Shibata stylus with a boron cantilever. The effective mass of the stylus/cantilever system is extremely low due to the use of a very thin boron rod; this material is extremely stiff and even more lightweight than aluminium, making it a real premium component choice.

The coil wire is the famous Ortofon Aucurum wire, which is a gold plated version of the popular 6NX copper wire.

CADENZA BLACK SOUND

This cartridge has been optimised for an amazing tonal neutrality, dynamics and further purity of sound. It performs better than any other cartridge at this level in detail, consistency and sound staging.

Additionally, the Black model also uses Ortofon’s Wide Range Damping (WRD) system, effectively controlling the high- and low-frequency damping separately. This system works by clamping a small, heavy disc of exotic metal between two rubber absorbers with different properties. The result is superlative tracking ability (90ยตm with the Cadenza Black) with perfect damping across the whole frequency range and no distortion or resonance.

Ortofon, as musical manufacturers, constantly look for new technology to be used in their products and aim to push the performance of existing technology. That’s why they’re able to deliver the highest level of performance and quality. The Kontrapunkt models and MC Jubilee became market standards and are among their most popular cartridges. Nevertheless, Ortofon decided to develop a new cartridge series that is even more ambitious.

By carefully implementing cobalt-iron pole pieces, new improved winding process on the armature, using extruded aluminium housing in the models as well as other changes, they have been able to reveal new possibilities in performing the analogue information. The Cadenza Series can out-perform all those that came before it.
