Ortofon has been designing cutting-edge
cartridges for more than 65 years. More than
300 different models later, the analog specialists
aren’t done creating breakthrough designs. Its
astounding Quintet Series represents an analog
benchmark. Never have moving-coil cartridges
of this caliber been available at this low a
cost. What Ortofon’s 2M Series did for moving
magnets, Quintet is doing for moving coils.
Simply brilliant.
“...One sophisticated cartridge for the money!”
— Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound
REVERED MM CARTRIDGES FOR ANY BUDGET
“...Near tonal perfection at $999. The
Quintet 9 Black is recommended without
reservation!”
ORTOFON 2M Series Cartridges
Few cartridge lines have won more international audiophile awards than
2M Series. Anchored by the beloved 2M Red, these cartridges exude value,
performance, expressiveness, consistency, and accuracy. Short for moving
magnet, 2M models all feature split pole pins for flat frequency response.
Technical specifics aside, 2M simply wins you over with the sound.
— Michael Fremer, Stereophile
THIS QUINTET SOUNDS LIKE A SYMPHONY

ORTOFON Quintet Black MC
Quintet Black comes with a nude shibata diamond, whose slim and highly
polished profile allows for an exceedingly wide contact area to groove
walls. Fast and nimble, it excels in revealing transient detail, and delivers
tonal and textural performance on par with Ortofon’s dazzling (and four
times as expensive) Windfeld. Recommended “without reservation” by
Michael Fremer and Analog Planet, Quintet Black is a knockout.
