Ortofon Quintet Blue Moving Coil cartridge
Quintet Blue MC
The Quintet Blue is a very homogeneous cartridge. It's sound image will tend to more smooth reproduction compared to the Quintet Red and moderate dynamic strength compared to the Quintet Bronze. It features a Nude Elliptical diamond mounted on an aluminium cantilever. The Quintet Blue will bring more space, depth and detail into the sound and is a very good choice for any kind of music, especially rhythmic.
Top-mounting of the Quintet cartridges is easy and secure using the screws supplied. The aluminuim frame has threaded mounting holes and is fitted easily with the 5mm or 7mm screws depending on the thickness of the headshell.
The Quintet series’ right angles, straight lines, stylus visibility and ample distance between the record surface and the cartridge’s bottom will make it easy to mount and align the cartridge and tonearm correctly. The Quintet Series gives excellent results with most common tonearms.
The LH-4000 headshell is specially recommended for MC Quintet cartridges series.
