The Ortofon MC Cadenza Mono is a moving coil cartridge specifically designed for playing mono microgroove vinyl records, integrating advanced technology to achieve high audio performance. It features a Nude Fine Line stylus mounted on a cylindrical aluminum cantilever, with a stylus tip radius of r/R 8/40 µm. Internal wiring is crafted from 6NX (99.9999 %) pure silver wire, allowing for excellent signal retrieval and dynamic range. The improved winding process on the armature enhances channel balance. The MC Cadenza Mono is distinct in its simplicity for usage, with pins connected to deliver the same signal from both pairs of connecting pins, making it user-friendly. Designed to play mono records effectively, it offers a relaxed and homogeneous sound quality that suits a variety of musical genres. This cartridge shares its internal design with other models in the Cadenza series but is specifically optimized for mono playback. Its performance is characterized by tightly timed and musically detailed output, rendering nuanced tonal qualities that preserve the integrity of the audio. The MC Cadenza Mono is further praised for its ability to track well through worn records, providing insightful and colorful sound reproduction without sonic disturbances.
