Type: MC 90X

  • Ortofon Moving coil cartridge

The MC 90X is a reimagining of a classic, combining precision engineering with advancements in material science and magnetism.

Building on the groundbreaking technology of the MC A90, the MC 90X features a stainless-steel structure crafted using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology, along with the Field Stabilizing Element, Wide Range Damping, Ortofon Replicant 100 Diamond stylus, and newly developed proprietary Ortofon rubber dampers.

• Field Stabilizing Element (FSE) – Enhances dynamics and channel separation by stabilizing the magnetic field.

• Wide Range Damping (WRD) – Ensures outstanding linear frequency response and an extended upper-frequency range.

• Ortofon Replicant 100 Diamond Stylus – Delivers exceptional transparency, speed, and precision.

• Updated Ortofon Rubber Dampers – Provide enhanced resonance control across the entire frequency range.

In-House Rubber Production for Ultimate Performance
