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.

Accuracy level

The MC Quintet Series is congruent with Ortofon’s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration:

A special PC 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.

MC Quintet Blue adds even more details and resolution but in a very evenhanded way that pays respect to all elements.

Q What is the Ortofon MC Quintet and what does "MC" mean here?

It's a moving coil (MC) cartridge, designed for precise, accurate reproduction without coloration, using neodymium magnets for optimal output.

Q What is the cartridge body made of?

A lightweight, impact-resistant PC thermoplastic body, chosen for durability and scratch resistance.

Q Why does its low internal impedance matter?

It makes the cartridge less sensitive to load, giving it compatibility with a wider range of phono preamps and step-up transformers than many other moving coil cartridges.

Q What variants are available?

Red, Blue, Bronze, Black, and Mono.

Q What is its output voltage, tracking force, and compliance?

The product page doesn't list these specifications — worth checking Ortofon's official spec sheet if those details matter for matching it to your tonearm and phono stage.
