It features a Nude Elliptical diamond mounted on an aluminium cantilever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Quintet Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNothing 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 has introduced about 100 different moving coil models, with our latest being the Quintet Series. We believe the cartridges in this new series are more than worthy successors to the long line of models that has made Ortofon the global leader in the manufacture and supply of phono cartridges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe MC Quintet Series is a direct result of our continued research and innovation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MC Quintet Series is congruent with Ortofon’s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration. A special ABS (Acrylonitrile\/Butadiene\/Styrene) thermoplastic material is used for manufacturing of the body. This light-weight, impact resistant material is very suitable for injection-moulding and provides a very durable scratch resistant surface. Neodymium magnets are implemented 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. It is our aim to bring our customers many hours of new and surprising experiences in listening to their precious vinyl collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEase of use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop-mounting of the Quintet cartridges is easy and secure using the screws supplied. The aluminuim frame has threaded mounting holes and is fitted easily with the 5mm or 7mm screws depending on the thickness of the headshell. \u003cbr\u003eThe Quintet series’ right angles, straight lines, stylus visibility and ample distance between the record surface and the cartridge’s bottom will make it easy to mount and align the cartridge and tonearm correctly. The Quintet Series gives excellent results with most common tonearms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput voltage at 1 kHz 5 cm\/sec:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 mV\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel separation at 1 kHz:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel separation at 15 kHz:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range at -3 dB:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20-25,000 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response 20-20,000 Hz:\u003c\/strong\u003e +\/-2.5 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracking ability at 315 Hz at recommended tracking force:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 μm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance (dynamic, lateral):\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 μm\/mN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylus type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nude Elliptical\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylus tip radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e r\/R 8\/18 μm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracking force range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.1-2.5 g (21-25 mN)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracking force recommended:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.3 g (23 mN)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracking angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20º\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal impedance, DC resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 Ohm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended load impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Ohm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge body material:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABS\/Aluminium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoil wire material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure 4-nines copper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ortofon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21831432325,"sku":"QUINTETBLUE","price":599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/Quintet_TiltBlue01.jpg?v=1741632479","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/ortofon-quintet-blue-mc-cartridge","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
