Accuracy Level
The MC Quintet Series reflects Ortofon’s commitment to precise, accurate reproduction without coloration. The Quintet Red combines a lightweight, impact-resistant PC thermoplastic body with neodymium magnets for optimal output, while its low internal impedance helps reduce sensitivity to load and supports compatibility with a wide range of preamps and transformers. The result is a versatile all-rounder that delivers open, dynamic sound with a subtle touch of warmth.
The Quintet Series
Nothing demonstrates Ortofon's long-standing resilience more than its commitment to the refinement of analog sound quality and its continued development of new cartridge models. Since 1948 Ortofon has introduced about 100 different Moving Coil models. 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.
Compatibility
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 the 5 mm or 7 mm screws depending on the thickness of the headshell.
The 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.
