Brand: Ortofon
Ortofon 530 is a high-performance moving iron (MI) cartridge designed for use on turntables. It is part of Ortofon's premium Cadenza series, which combines traditional craftsmanship with modern materials and techniques. The 530 cartridge uses a specially designed cantilever with a boron rod, coated with a low-friction, micro-roughness coating. The structure is energized by a high-power neodymium magnet system and a special coil winding technique called Winding 2.0. The 530 cartridge has a low internal impedance (2.2 ohms) and a high output level (0.5 mV). Its frequency response is 20Hz-40kHz, and it has a recommended tracking force of 1.7-1.8 gms. The Ortofon 530 is a popular choice for audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts who demand exceptional sound quality and accuracy. It is compatible with turntables that have a detachable headshell, such as the Roksan Xerxes and Rega P8.
