Ortofon MC Windfeld TI Phono Cartridge
Tribute
Introduced in 2017 as an evolution of the original MC Windfeld, the MC Windfeld Ti pays tribute to Ortofon’s former engineer, Mr. Windfeld, by advancing his vision for superior analogue sound reproduction. The use of titanium in this model marks a significant improvement in rigidity and weight, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in high-fidelity audio. With its lifelike, dynamic, and incredibly clear sound, the MC Windfeld Ti stands as a testament to Ortofon’s expertise and innovation in the world of analogue sound.
Building on the Legacy
The Ortofon MC Windfeld Ti is a top-tier moving coil phono cartridge, crafted for audiophiles seeking the best sound. Building on the legacy of the original MC Windfeld, this cartridge incorporates advanced technologies to reduce unwanted vibrations and enhance dynamic performance. The MC Windfeld Ti features a titanium internal structure, produced using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology. This process fuses fine titanium particles layer by layer, creating an ultra-rigid yet lightweight body that minimizes energy loss and ensures precision in sound reproduction.
Ortofon's deep understanding of vibration properties, magnetism, and mechanical design is evident in the MC Windfeld Ti. The cartridge's design ensures perfect mechanical integration with tonearms through three precisely positioned contact points. This approach, rooted in Ortofon's historical commitment to mechanical rigidity and resonance control, guarantees the best sound.
The cartridge’s low output impedance of 7 ohms and moderate compliance make it compatible with a broad range of high-end turntables and preamplifiers, including Ortofon’s own TA-210 and TA-110 tonearms and ST-80 SE step-up transformers.
