Brand: Ortofon

The Ortofon MC-15 Super mkII is a high-quality moving coil (MC) phono cartridge that is ideal for use with turntables. It is the successor to the widely popular MC-15 Super, and the mkII (mark II) version represents a significant improvement in several ways.Firstly, the new diamond stylus provides superior tracking ability and detail in the high frequencies. The diamond is mounted on a hybrid boron rod cantilever, which is strong yet lightweight to ensure accurate tracking of the vinyl grooves without interfering with the playback quality.Secondly, the cartridge body has been updated with a low-wear, W-shaped coil winding that minimizes distortion while providing optimal magnetic performance. This winding also helps to reduce the internal impedance of the cartridge, making it more compatible with a wider range of preamplifiers and turntables.Thirdly, the MC-15 Super mkII features a modified isolated peg design that simplifies the installation and alignment process (the right angle cut-out being perfect for the popular Rega backplate design) and improves the tracking angle stability.Overall, these design improvements make the Ortofon MC-15 Super mkII an exceptional MC cartridge that delivers precise treble details, a natural mid-range, and a rich, full-bodied bass response. It pairs well with high-quality audio components and is a popular choice for audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts seeking superior sound quality in their turntable systems.
