The Ortofon Quintet Black S Moving Coil Cartridge with a Nude Shibata diamond, considered one of the best stylus profiles available, mounted on a high-performance Sapphire cantilever. The Shibataโs slim, highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the walls of the groove. It also ensures detailed and pure reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the most high-frequency groove details.
The Quintet Black S produces detailed and pure reproduction throughout the spectrum, volume, and soundstage. This cartridge is further unfettered by musical genre and will give the closest approach within the Quintet series to Ortofonโs true accuracy in sound.
The MC Quintet Series uses the highest engineering standards and is also consistent with Ortofon’s unwavering dedication to offering the most accurate and exact reproduction without colouration. In addition, the five Quintet Series cartridges represent the ensemble of five classic colour variants, each with audible expression.
The body uses a special ABS (Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene) thermoplastic material. This lightweight, impact-resistant material is suitable for injection moulding and provides a very durable, scratch-resistant surface.
Neodymium magnets are implemented within Quintet models to achieve an optimal output. Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load, ensuring compatibility with the widest range of preamps and transformers.
