Dynamic Sound Quality

MC Quintet Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers an overall open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth. Offered as standard on a range of turntables worldwide, the Quintet Red is an excellent entry into the world of Moving Coil cartridges. The frame is produced with ABS (Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene) thermoplastic. This light, impact-resistant material can be used for injection moulding. Its surface is very durable and scratch-resistant.

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.

Engineered to Last

It is a rock-solid cartridge, and the materials used are virtually unbreakable. The Ortofon Quintet Red is a very tough moving coil cartridge that remains in the field for many years without any scratches, although the vinyl surface is very delicate.

The materials used are superior, and the cartridge responds well to regular use and maintains its best quality. Ordinary treatment of the original groove picked up by the stylus (needle) is crucial to the best sound reproduction.

Quick Plug and Play

The Ortofon Quintet Red can be set up quite easily on the turntable and easily fits in most systems. This easy-to-use design is perfect for beginners as well as experts. With less effort and a minimum of time, one can start enjoying rich and colourful sound.
