Ortofon SUPER OM 5E Overview
The Ortofon Super OM 5E is a low-mass moving-magnet cartridge with an elliptical stylus, well suited for music lovers and hi-fi enthusiasts. The cartridge body has been designed to provide easy mounting and alignment on both top-mount and bottom-mount headshells.
A tiny removable weight plate is tucked into the mounting bracket for use with standard tonearms. You can remove it if you want a low-mass tonearm, reducing the weight of the cartridge to a mere 2.5g. Made from NORYL (a plastic and glass compound), the Super OM 5E enclosure is lightweight and ensures high rigidity with freedom from resonance. Its computer-modeled design improves linearity, leads to higher channel separation, and reduces distortion.
- The Super OM 5E offers a high-accuracy cartridge with a natural pivot point for optimum oscillation balance for improved linearity, higher channel separation, and reduced distortion.
- Super OM cartridge models have split-pole pins, which reduce magnetic losses at the treble end, extend the frequency range, and improve phase linearity.
- The cartridge body is manufactured from NORYL, a plastic and glass compound which ensures high rigidity and freedom from resonances.
- The contoured shape of the elliptical diamond stylus is able to follow groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds for better tracking and less distortion.
