Ortofon Quintet Blue Moving Coil Cartridge
The Quintet Blue features a nude elliptical diamond mounted on an aluminium cantilever, bringing more space, depth and detail into the sound and is a very good choice for any kind of music, especially rhythmic
Key Features:
- 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
