Frequently Bought Together
Product Overview & Specifications
Refined Damping System
One of the Ortofon MC 90X standout features is the Wide Range Damping (WRD) system, which ensures outstanding linear frequency response and an extended upper frequency range. This advanced system employs a platinum disc placed between two specially designed rubber absorbers, providing superior tracking and effective resonance control across the entire frequency spectrum.
Refined Damping System
Ortofon's in-house developed rubber compounds further enhance performance, optimising damping characteristics to minimise distortion and improve sound clarity. These innovations make the MC 90X a high-performance cartridge, delivering exceptional detail, precision, and an unparalleled listening experience.
High-Performance
Achieving linear reproduction with a wide frequency range and optimal tracking requires a diamond that closely mimics the original cutting stylus. The Ortofon MC 90X features the Replicant 100 diamond, renowned for its thin, light profile and exceptionally large contact surface, allowing it to trace grooves with unmatched precision. Combined with a special polishing process and a Boron cantilever, this design ensures remarkable transparency, speed, and responsiveness, delivering exceptional sound quality for an immersive audio experience.
High-Precision
At the heart of the MC 90X is a revolutionary Selective Laser Melting (SLM) manufacturing process. This high-precision technique uses laser-welding of micro particles to create a one-piece body. This enhances rigidity, reduces unwanted resonances, and ensures optimal cartridge mass, resulting in superior sound quality and performance. For an exceptional signal transmission, the coil wires are made of the special alloy Aucurum, a gold-plated 6NX oxygen-free copper.
