The Ortofon X 3-MCP is an audio cartridge designed for high fidelity audio playback in turntables. It typically features a moving coil design that is known for delivering accurate and detailed sound reproduction. The design aims to capture the nuances in music, making it suitable for audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts who appreciate high-quality sound. The cartridge is usually characterized by its lightweight construction, allowing for easy tracking across vinyl records. Specifications may include a frequency response range that often spans from 20 Hz to 25 kHz, providing a broad spectrum of sound reproduction. Additionally, the output voltage is typically low, around 0.5 mV, which means it requires a compatible phono preamp for amplification. The X 3-MCP may also feature a fine elliptical stylus which enhances tracking accuracy and reduces record wear. Its overall build quality is designed to be elegant and functional, contributing to an optimized listening experience.
