This new state-of-the-art product, representative of numerous Ortofon design ideals, is truly exemplary of the highest degree of performance possible in contemporary analogue playback technology. The MC Verismo will undoubtedly provide sound which simply has to be experienced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe story behind the name\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe name Verismo is derived from the Italian vero, meaning true and is the Italian for \"realism\". Versimo was a post-Romantic operatic genre, that had its origins in an Italian literary movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Verismo's operatic tradition is associated with Italian composers such as Pietro Mascagni, Ruggero Leoncavallo, Umberto Giordano, Francesco Cilea and Giacomo Puccini, who sought to portray the world with greater realism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Ortofon, Ortofon's ultimate purpose is to continually raise the bar for true, faithful and accurate reproduction of the recorded sound. It is to provide the ultimate musical experience through a mixture of innovation and technical expertise, creating unique value for all listeners by allowing them to reveal musics true inner emotions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesign elements and high-end materials\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe housing of the Verismo cartridge is made in Titanium with the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technique pioneered by Ortofon. This technique allows for precise control of the density of the body material, allowing for extremely high internal damping.\u003cbr\u003eThe MC Verismo makes use of Ortofons Replicant 100 diamond. This Line Contact type stylus distinguishes itself by having a narrow and long contact surface, which is as close as possible to the original cutting stylus. This ensures the most accurate reproduction, lowest distortion and extended frequency range.\u003cbr\u003eThe addition of a solid Diamond cantilever provides the best possible interface between the stylus and armature, owing to its hardness and crystal structure. The improvements found in the use of a Diamond cantilever have redefined the boundaries of analogue reproduction, presenting greater inner detail, subtlety, and depth like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerformance with a range of compatibility\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the MC Verismo the cartridges contact with the tonearm takes place through three well-defined contact points placed on the top side of the cartridge. This means that the mechanical integration of the cartridge and the tonearm arm is always absolutely perfect and will result in a significant and breathtaking increase in dynamics, resolution, and richness in detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith optimised weight and moderate compliance to suit the majority of modern tonearms, the MC Verismo is easily compatible with an endless array of contemporary high-end turntable equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput voltage at 1 kHz, 5cm\/sec. 0.2 mV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel balance at 1 kHz 0.5 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel separation at 1 kHz 25 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel separation at 15 kHz 20 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response 20 Hz-20 kHz +2 dB\/- 1 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking ability at 315 Hz at recommended tracking force 80 µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliance, dynamic, lateral 13 µm\/mN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus type Special polished Nude Ortofon Replicant 100 on Diamond Cantilever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus tip radius r\/R 5\/100 µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking force range 2.5-2.8 g (25-28 mN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking force, recommended 2.6 g (26 mN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking angle 23°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal impedance, DC resistance 7 Ohm\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended load impedance  \u0026gt; 10 Ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoil wire material Aucurum, gold-plated, 6NX oxygen free copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge body material SLM Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge colour Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartidge weight 9.5 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Ortofon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51938414133514,"sku":"ORTOFON-7245","price":5749.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/ortofon-mc-verismo-cartridge-32370-p.png?v=1760363077","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/ortofon-mcverismo","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
