Pure reproduction

  • MC Quintet Black S
  • The Quintet Black S is the best example of Quintet’s overall excellence.
  • The Quintet Black S is graced with a Nude Shibata diamond, considered one of the best stylus profiles available, mounted on a high-performance Sapphire cantilever.
  • The Shibata’s slim, highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the walls of the groove and ensures detailed and pure reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the most high frequency groove information.
  • Research and innovation
  • Accuracy level
  • The MC Quintet Series is congruent with Ortofon’s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration:
  • A special PC thermoplastic material is used for manufacturing of the body. This light-weight, impact resistant material is very suitable for injection-moulding and provides a very durable scratch resistant surface.
  • Neodymium magnets are implemented to achieve an optimal output.
  • Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load and therefore ensures compatibility with the widest range of preamps and transformers.
  • The MC Quintet Black S is the best of everything, true to the groove with resolution and accurate insight into each recording.
  • Shibata diamond
  • Stylus
  • The new MC Quintet Black S model is graced with the Shibata stylus on the Sapphire cantilever.
  • The Quintet Black S produces a detailed and pure reproduction thoughout the spectrum, volume, and soundstage. The Quintet Black S will be unfettered by musical genre and will give the closest approach within the Quintet Series to
  • Ortofon’s true accuracy in sound.
  • Ease of use
  • Compatibility
  • Top-mounting of the Quintet cartridges is easy and secure using the screws supplied. The aluminuim frame has threaded mounting holes and is fitted easily with the 5mm or 7mm screws depending on the thickness of the headshell.
  • The Quintet series’ right angles, straight lines, stylus visibility and ample distance between the record surface and the cartridge’s bottom will make it easy to mount and align the cartridge and tonearm correctly.The Quintet Series gives excellent results with most common tonearms.
  • The story of Quintet
  • Nothing demonstrates Ortofon's long-standing resilience more than its commitment to the refinement of analog sound quality and its continued development of new cartridge models.
  • Since 1948, Ortofon has introduced about 100 different Moving Coil models. We believe the cartridges in this new series are more than worthy successors to the long line of models that has made Ortofon the global leader in the manufacture and supply of phono cartridges.
