QUINTET RED TECHNOLOGY
The Quintet Red features an Elliptical diamond cut polished to Ortofonโs high standards. Further, this entry-level MC cartridge has a very high price-to-performance ratio and is a perfect all-rounder for newcomers to the world of Moving Coil cartridges
QUINTET RED SOUND
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 around the world the Quintet Red is a great entry into the world of Moving Coil cartridges.
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 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 and transformers.
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 cartridgeโs bottom will make it easy to mount and align the cartridge and tonearm correctly with almost any tonearm.
