Description

The Ortofon Quintet Mono Moving Coil Cartridge is the best cartridge in the Quintet series to play monophonic records.

  • Overhead mounting cartridge for installing into a headshell
  • Optimised mono output cartridge
  • Moving Coil cartridge design
  • Lightweight ABS body surrounds the cartridge core, made from aluminium
  • Nude Elliptical diamond stylus profile

Nothing demonstrates Ortofon’s long-standing resilience more than its commitment to the refinement of analogue sound quality and its continued development of new cartridge models. Since 1948 Ortofon have introduced about 100 different moving coil models, with their latest being the Quintet Series.

Ortofon believes the cartridges in this new series are more than worthy successors to the long line of models that have made Ortofon the global leader in the manufacturing and supplying of phono cartridges.

QUINTET MONO TECHNOLOGY

It features a Nude Elliptical r/R 8/18ฮผm stylus that is a good solution for playing mono microgroove vinyl records. The Quintet Mono will track perfectly through even worn and damaged records and ensure surface noise control.

Quintet Mono uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins. This effectively eliminates the need for mono-specific equipment, making it possible to enjoy true mono reproduction on any stereo system.

QUINTET MONO SOUND

The MC Quintet Series is congruent with Ortofonโ€™s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without colouration.

The body uses a special ABS (Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene) thermoplastic material during manufacturing. This lightweight, impact-resistant material is very suitable for injection moulding and also provides a very durable, scratch-resistant surface.

Neodymium magnets are implemented within Quintet moving coil models to achieve an optimal output. Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load and, therefore, ensures compatibility with the widest range of preamps.

Top mounting of the Quintet cartridges is easy and secure using the screws supplied. The aluminium frame has threaded mounting holes and is fitted easily with either the 5mm or 7mm screws depending on the thickness of the headshell.

In addition, the Quintet seriesโ€™ right angles, straight lines, stylus visibility and ample distance between the record surface and the cartridgeโ€™s bottom will make it easy to mount and align the cartridge and tonearm correctly with almost any tonearm.
