Leading the launch is the new MC Vertex, which Ortofon describes as its most advanced moving coil cartridge to date, featuring a solid diamond cantilever, titanium construction and an entirely new Vertex diamond profile. Alongside the MC Vertex, Ortofon also introduced the new MC X50, the flagship model of the MC X Series. The MC X50 combines a Nude Micro Ridge stylus with a boron cantilever and represents the highest-performance implementation of the MC X platform so far. Founded in Denmark in 1918, Ortofon remains one of the world’s most recognized cartridge manufacturers and a pioneer of moving-coil technology.
