Ortofon MC-X 50

The Ortofon MC X50 is the flagship model in the MC X Series, designed to deliver the highest level of performance and precision. Combining a nude Micro Ridge diamond stylus with a lightweight boron cantilever, it extracts exceptional detail from the record groove while maintaining outstanding tracking accuracy.

Built around Ortofon’s latest Moving Coil technology, the MC X50 offers remarkable resolution, low distortion, and impressive musical realism. As a result, it sets a new benchmark for performance in its class.

Micro Ridge stylus profile

The MC X50 features a nude Micro Ridge diamond stylus, renowned for its extremely precise contact with the record groove. Therefore, it delivers superior high-frequency tracking, reduced inner groove distortion, and excellent long-term durability.

Boron cantilever

Paired with the advanced stylus profile is a rigid and lightweight boron cantilever. As a result, the cartridge achieves faster transient response, greater detail retrieval, and lower overall distortion throughout the frequency range.

Pure silver coil system

All MC X cartridges use coils wound with high-purity silver wire. Consequently, signal transmission remains exceptionally clean and accurate, preserving even the finest musical details with outstanding clarity.

Advanced magnet system

The MC X50 incorporates Ortofon’s newly developed magnet system, featuring a one-piece pole cylinder integrated into a rear magnet yoke. Therefore, magnetic efficiency is maximised, creating a powerful and highly stable signal path.

Custom-developed suspension

For the MC X50, Ortofon developed a new rubber suspension compound specifically for this model. As a result, the cartridge benefits from improved damping, greater stability, and more accurate tracking performance.
