Ortofon Super OM5E MM Cartridge

The Super OM 5E is an upgraded version of the classic MM Cartridge from Ortofon. The difference between the Super version and the standard model is that the Super has a different generator assembly in the body which features the Split-Pole pin technology as found on the famous 2M range of cartridges. This helps reduce eddy currents losses through magnetic hysteresis resulting in a more extended and flatter frequency response with closer channel balancing.

The is the lightest MM cartridge that Ortofon make with a body made from a low mass, low resonance Noryl material. It includes a weight that is housed in the mounting bracket - this is kept in place with most arms, but for very low mass arms it can be removed dropping its mass to just 2.5g

This model features an Elliptical diamond and thanks to the removable stylus assembly you can fit styli from other models in the range including Stylus 3S, Stylus 5E (as fitted here as standard), Stylus 10, Stylus 20, Stylus 30, Stylus 40 and the 78 RPM only Stylus 78.
