Brand: Ortofon
The Ortofon X5 MCP is a high-performance moving coil phono cartridge designed for vinyl playback. MCP stands for Multi Channel Positioning, which refers to the cartridge's ability to produce excellent channel separation and imaging, enabling precise placement of instruments and vocals within the soundstage. The X5 MCP utilizes Ortofon's proprietary WFB (Wide Bandwidth) technology, which offers a wider frequency response for more detailed and nuanced sound. The cartridge's nude FineLine diameter diamond stylus ensures precise tracking of record grooves, while the brass body and boron cantilever provide an optimal blend of rigidity and low-level noise reduction. The Ortofon X5 MCP is regarded as an excellent choice for audiophiles seeking high-resolution, detailed vinyl reproduction.
