The Ortofon OM 40 Super is a moving magnet cartridge designed for use in vinyl record playback systems. It features an advanced stylus design, specifically a nude diamond stylus that enhances tracking ability and sound reproduction quality. The OM 40 Super is suitable for both audiophiles and casual listeners, offering a balance of precision and warmth in its sound profile. The cartridge has a frequency response ranging typically from 20 Hz to 25 kHz, paired with a channel separation of approximately 26 dB at 1 kHz. The recommended tracking force for optimal performance is between 1.8 to 2.2 grams, enabling it to effectively navigate the grooves of vinyl records without causing excessive wear. It has a compliance rating of 20 x 10^-6 cm/dyne, contributing to its ability to track music with accuracy and clarity. The internal impedance is around 1,000 ohms, which is standard for moving magnet cartridges, allowing for compatibility with a wide range of phono preamps. Additionally, the OM 40 Super is part of the larger Ortofon OM series, allowing for interchangeable stylus options, enabling users to customize their playback experience.
