The Ortofon MC Quintet Blue is a moving coil cartridge designed for vinyl enthusiasts seeking high-quality sound reproduction. This cartridge features an improved generator system, providing a refined sonic experience with clarity and detail. The MC Quintet Blue is characterized by its aluminum cantilever and a nude elliptical diamond stylus, which contribute to its ability to track the grooves of vinyl records with precision. As part of the Quintet series, it is designed to be compatible with a variety of turntables and offers a balanced output. With a frequency response range that typically spans from 20 Hz to 25 kHz, it captures both low and high frequencies effectively. The recommended tracking force is set between 1.8 g and 2.2 g, allowing for flexibility depending on the turntable setup. The output voltage is approximately 0.3 mV at 1 kHz, making it suitable for phono preamps that can handle low-output cartridges. The construction of the cartridge also emphasizes durability and reliability, ensuring a long lifespan under normal use conditions.
