A new benchmark for analogue perfection
In the world of vinyl playback, the cartridge is where the sonic journey begins. The pivotal point at which the music rises from the groove and transforms into impressive worlds of sound. With the MC X series, Ortofon sets new standards in the development of MC cartridges and pushes first-class moving coil technology to an unprecedented level.

Pure silver coil system
All MC X cartridges feature coils made of high-purity silver wire. The use of high-quality materials ensures exceptional signal clarity, reproducing the sound with unrivalled precision and preserving every detail without interference.

Magnetic system
The MC X series has a newly developed magnet system with a one-piece pole piece integrated into the rear magnet yoke.
integrated into the rear magnet yoke. This ensures maximum magnet efficiency and, paired with pure silver coils, a clean, powerful signal path that noticeably enhances the sound quality.

Rubber dampers specially developed for the MC X series
The rubber compounds specially developed and manufactured for the MC X series are the central element of the mechanical damping system of the new series from Ortofon. Rubber dampers are essential for controlling the coil movements in the magnetic field, the stability of the tracking and the minimisation of unwanted resonances. The result is excellent tracking accuracy, reduced distortion and greater musical precision.

Experience the depth. Hear every detail.
At the core of the MC X Series is an advanced, honeycomb stainless steel frame manufactured using Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) technology. This refined construction ensures superior mechanical stability and provides the ideal basis for precise and accurate sound reproduction.

After moulding and sintering, a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) surface treatment is applied to improve the appearance of the surface and maintain material integrity over time.

The shape of sound
The MC X Series epitomises modern elegance with an unmistakable design. From a distance, its silhouette is one of minimalist sophistication; up close, its intricate details reveal superb craftsmanship. In keeping with Ortofon's typical aesthetic, the series is an extremely successful fusion of form and function.
