ortofon moving magnet cartridges
The OM 5S is a moving magnet cartridge for general purpose application.
Stylus type - Spherical
Stylus tip radius - R 18 µm
Tracking force, recommended - 1.75 g (17.5 mN)
OM 5E features Elliptical stylus that provides balanced and distortion-free playback. Elliptical diamonds are able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds. This results in better tracking and less distortion.
Stylus type - Elliptical
Stylus tip radius - r/R 8/18 µm
Tracking force, recommended - 1.75 g (17.5 mN)
OM Super 5 cartridge body is manufactured from a Noryl (plastic & glass compound) which ensures high rigidity and freedom from resonances.
Stylus type - Elliptical
Stylus tip radius - r/R 8/18 µm
Tracking force, recommended - 1.75 g (17.5 mN)
