Ortofon Quintet Black S Moving coil phono cartridge MC

Ortofon Quintet Black S Moving Coil Cartridge

The Ortofon Quintet Black S sits at the top of the Quintet range, delivering the highest level of precision, detail, and tonal accuracy within the series. Designed for serious listeners, it offers a refined, revealing sound that remains natural and uncoloured across all genres.

At its core is a Nude Shibata diamond stylus, widely regarded as one of the most advanced stylus profiles available. Its slim, highly polished shape provides an exceptionally wide contact area with the groove walls, allowing it to retrieve the finest high-frequency detail while maintaining smooth, distortion-free playback. This is paired with a high-performance sapphire cantilever, offering superior rigidity and responsiveness for precise tracking and improved transient detail.

The Quintet Black S delivers a wide, open soundstage with excellent separation and control, revealing subtle musical nuances while maintaining clarity across the full frequency range. Its low internal impedance moving coil design reduces electrical noise and ensures a clean, accurate signal.

The cartridge body is constructed from a lightweight, durable ABS thermoplastic, while neodymium magnets provide efficient output. Its design ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of tonearms, phono stages, and transformers.
