Ortofon Hi-Fi MC Verismo Moving Coil Cartridge

Low stock

The Ortofon Exclusive Series cartridges are widely acknowledged as being some of the best Moving Coil cartridges on the market. The range is continuously expanding to offer music lovers the experience of supreme quality, precision, impact and dynamics that a high-end reference cartridge conveys.

The MC Verismo is a state-of-the-art cartridge benefitting from an Ortofon’s Replicant 100 diamond, a diamond Cantilever and a housing made of Titanium using SLM technique. The coils are made of gold-plated, 6NX oxygen-free copper and are individually hand-wound by specialised artisans at the Ortofon factory in Denmark.

Evolved from Ortofon’s design language, the MC Verismo represents the highest degree of performance possible in contemporary analogue playback technology.

The magnet system of the MC Verismo is based on an extremely strong, compact neodymium magnet, which makes the generator system both compact and lighter through its minimal dimensions.

Using Ortofon’s Aucurum coils of gold-plated, 6nx oxygen-free copper allows for zero-loss transmission of the diamond’s movements via its Diamond cantilever. This combination makes use of low moving mass and an extremely high degree of rigidity.

The MC Verismo employs a special designed armature comprised of a metal alloy which is less magnetic than normal iron, and provides noteworthy benefits to the dynamic capabilities of the cartridge.

Inside the magnet system, Ortofon’s Field Stabilising Element (FSE) is placed to guarantee that the magnetic field remains stable regardless of the movement of the armature, ensuring fantastic dynamics and even more elbow room between the musicians. You simply experience greater breadth, height and depth in the sound scenario between the high-end system’s loudspeakers.
