Ortofon Super OM 5e Moving Magnet DJ Cartridge

The Ortofon Super OM 5e Moving Magnet DJ Cartridge is the ultimate choice for audiophiles and professional DJs who seek high-quality sound reproduction and durability. Crafted with precision and engineered for excellence, this cartridge features an elliptical stylus that ensures balanced and distortion-free playback. The contoured shape of elliptical diamonds enables them to follow the groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds, resulting in better tracking and minimal distortion. Whether you're upgrading your audio system or replacing a worn-out cartridge, the Ortofon Super OM 5e offers a significant improvement in audio fidelity and performance.

One of the standout features of the Super OM 5e is its innovative design, which allows for optimal tonearm matching. A removable weight-plate ingeniously tucked into the top of the mounting bracket makes it easy to achieve perfect alignment on both top mount and bottom mount headshells. This flexibility ensures excellent compatibility with a wide variety of playback systems and phono preamps. Moreover, the Super OM series is known for its low-mass range, which enhances sound quality by minimizing vibrations and resonance.

Ortofon has designed the OM 5 Series cartridges not just for replacement in case of wear or damage but to allow music lovers to upgrade their sound without replacing the entire cartridge. By simply upgrading the stylus, you can step up to better sound performance, making the OM 5 Series a cost-effective and high-value solution for high-fidelity audio enthusiasts.
