The Ortofon MC X20 is aA premium moving coil cartridge. Equipped with a naked elliptical diamond cut, it brings the microgroove of your favorite records to life. The MC X20 combines high-purity materials, innovative technologies, and precise engineering to create a sound transducer that perfectly combines emotion and detail.
Analogue perfection in its purest form
The journey to the perfect vinyl experience begins with the cartridge – where sound is created. With the MC X series, Ortofon sets a new standard in the high-end sector and elevates moving coil technology to a new level of performance.
Pure signal transmission thanks to silver winding
The MC X20 uses only high-purity silver for its coils – a material that ensures excellent conductivity. The result: a clear, precise, and interference-free sound that faithfully reproduces every musical detail.
Maximum magnetic efficiency
The newly developed magnet design with a one-piece pole cylinder and rear magnetic yoke guarantees maximum magnetic performance. Combined with the silver wiring, this creates a signal-rich environment for exceptional sound quality.
Stability through precision technology
Ortofon's proprietary rubber dampers control coil movement and eliminate unwanted vibrations, resulting in excellent tracking, minimal distortion, and outstanding musicality.
Innovative MIM construction with honeycomb structure
At its heart is a stainless steel core with an innovative honeycomb structure, manufactured using Metal Injection Molding (MIM). This construction offers maximum mechanical stability and an ideal basis for precise sound reproduction. A PVD coating provides lasting protection for the surface against environmental influences.
Aesthetics meets acoustics
With its clean, elegant design, the MC X20 complements any high-quality tonearm, not only in terms of sound but also visually. The harmonious combination of form and function makes it a stylish highlight on any turntable.
