Description
Description
The OM 5S is the most affordable way to enter the Ortofon product range.
Taking on the classic OM design and featuring a reliable Spherical stylus, it's a great gateway to quality vinyl playback.
FEATURES
- Spherical diamond stylus
- Moving magnet cartridge with removable stylus
- Interchangeable with other styli from the OM range
- Lightweight Noryl body with anti-resonant properties
The OM Series is the lowest-mass range of moving magnet (MM) cartridges offered by Ortofon. All cartridges in the series offer a minimal design profile for easy mounting and alignment, and they also all offer a clear, loud output for easy pairing with a phono stage. They truly warrant their name as "Optimum Match" (OM) cartridges.
As well as being easy to fit onto any tonearm/headshell system, all OM cartridge bodies also benefit from a removable weight, housed above the mounting bracket. For standard tonearms, you can leave the weight in place. However, for low-mass tonearms you have the ability to remove it, reducing the overall cartridge weight to just 2.5g.
The OM 5S has been developed to give as many people as possible access to the superior audio reproduction Ortofon are recognised for worldwide. Finished with a high-quality Spherical (S) diamond stylus profile for excellent record hold, it's a great, affordable way to take a step up in sound quality and clarity.
Replacement Styli
Due to its longevity in the market, the OM range features a number of upgrade stylus options, including the Stylus 5E, Stylus 10, Stylus 20, Stylus 30, Stylus 40 and the 78 RPM Stylus 78.
