ORTOFON MC CADENZA RED

The MC Cadenza Red cartridge perfectly embodies the musical concept from which it takes its name, delivering an open and dynamic sound, enriched with a subtle touch of warmth. Its sound profile is relaxed and homogeneous, while maintaining a moderate dynamism that provides great spatiality and depth to the stereo image. This model is equipped with a Nude Fine Line stylus, ensuring precise and detailed reproduction, while the cylindrical aluminum cantilever contributes to maintaining exceptional stability during playback. The stylus tip has a radius of 8/40 µm, optimizing contact with the vinyl groove for clear and refined sound reproduction.

The coils, made from 6NX (99.9999%) pure silver wire, are constructed with an advanced winding process that allows for better channel balance, ensuring even more accurate and balanced sound reproduction. This technical detail, combined with the high-quality materials used, gives the Cadenza Red an exceptional audio performance.
