Ortofon MC X50 Moving Coil Cartridge
The MC X50 represents the highest level of performance in the MC X Series. Its nude Micro Ridge diamond stylus ensures exceptional tracking accuracy and long-term stability. With its exceptionally narrow side radius, it delivers superior high-frequency tracking, reduced inner groove distortion, and remarkable longevity.
Combined with a boron cantilever, it provides superior transient response, resolution, and low distortion.
A newly developed rubber suspension featuring a newly formulated compound has been engineered specifically for the MC X50.
A New Benchmark in Analogue Perfection
In the world of vinyl playback, the cartridge is where the journey begins. A pivotal point where music rises from the groove and transforms into immersive soundscapes. With the MC X Series, Ortofon sets a new benchmark in MC cartridge design, pushing premium Moving Coil technology to unprecedented levels of performance.
Pure Silver Coil System
All MC X cartridges feature coils wound with high-purity silver wire. The use of premium materials is to ensure exceptional signal clarity, delivering sound with unmatched precision and preserving every detail without interference.
Magnet system
The MC X Series introduces a newly developed magnet system with a one-piece pole cylinder integrated into a rear magnet yoke. Engineered for maximum magnetic efficiency and paired with pure silver coils, this configuration ensures a clean, powerful signal path that elevates overall performance.
Custom-Developed Rubber Dampers
In-house produced and developed rubber compounds form the core of the MC X Series’ mechanical damping system. Rubber dampers are essential for controlling the physical movement of the coils, maintaining stability, minimizing unwanted vibrations, and enabling precise coil motion. The result is superior tracking, reduced distortion, and musical accuracy.
For the MC X50 a newly developed rubber suspension featuring a newly formulated compound has been engineered.
The Shape of Sound
The MC X Series embodies modern elegance with a distinctive design that seamlessly complements the tonearm. From afar, its silhouette speaks of minimalist refinement; up close, its intricate detailing reveals craftsmanship at every level. True to Ortofon’s signature aesthetic, it’s a sophisticated fusion of form and function.
