The Ortofon OM5E Moving Magnet Cartridge is a true icon of the affordable vinyl playback world, offering great sound at a low price.
- Tipped Elliptical diamond stylus profile
- Moving magnet cartridge with removable stylus
- Interchangeable with other styli from the OM range
- Lightweight Noryl body with anti-resonant properties
The OM Series is the lowest-mass range of moving magnet (MM) cartridges offered by Ortofon. All cartridges in the series offer a minimal design profile for easy mounting and alignment, and they also all offer a clear, loud output for easy pairing with a phono stage. They truly warrant their name as “Optimum Match” (OM) cartridges.
As well as being easy to fit to any tonearm/headshell system, all OM cartridge bodies also benefit from a removable weight, housed above the mounting bracket. For standard tonearms you can leave the weight in place. However, for low-mass tonearms you can remove it, reducing the overall cartridge weight to just 2.5g.
The OM 5E features an Elliptical (E) stylus that provides balanced and distortion-free playback. Elliptical diamonds can follow the groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds due to their contoured shape. This results in better tracking and less distortion.
Replacement Styli
Due to its longevity in the market, the OM range features several upgrade stylus options, including the Stylus 5E, Stylus 10, Stylus 20, Stylus 30, Stylus 40 and the 78 RPM Stylus 78.
