Created by Ortofon to deliver the magic of classic moving coil designs at the best possible price, the Quintet series is a further affirmation of the brand's commitment to analog audio reproduction at the highest level. The base model of the range, the Quintet Red immediately stands out for the characteristic construction of its body in a special thermoplastic material based on highly impact-resistant ABS that stands out for its lightness and robustness. Additionally, the Quintet Red features an elliptical diamond stylus cut and polished to the company's strict standards to explore the grooves of vinyl records with exceptional agility and control.
The use of high-power neodymium magnets allows dynamics to be maximized, while a low internal impedance makes the Quintet Red less sensitive to load variations and therefore compatible with as wide a range of preamplifiers and step-up transformers as possible. . All this is crowned by an exceptional quality/price ratio that makes the Quintet Red an ideal all-rounder for those who wish to experience the extreme sweetness and precision of moving coil cartridges in all their amplitude.
