Immerse yourself in the world of high-resolution vinyl sound with the Ortofon MC X30 – a premium moving coil (MC) cartridge. Designed for discerning audiophiles, the MC X30 sets new standards in analog sound reproduction. Featuring a finely ground Nude Fine Line diamond stylus, high-purity silver wire, and state-of-the-art engineering, this cartridge offers an impressive combination of precision, detail, and dynamic expressiveness.
A new chapter in analog sound perfection
The cartridge is the origin of every vinyl playback – it's where the musical journey begins. The MC X30 transforms the finest groove movements into expressive soundscapes. With the MC X series, Ortofon impressively demonstrates that tradition and innovation are not mutually exclusive, but can blend in perfect harmony.
High-purity silver coils for exceptional signal purity
At the heart of the MC X30 are four precision-wound coils made of high-purity silver wire. This premium component guarantees flawless signal transmission with the highest resolution, free from interference or sound distortion.
New magnet system for maximum efficiency
The specially developed magnet system combines a one-piece pole cylinder with a rear magnetic yoke, enabling particularly low-loss signal transmission. Combined with the silver coils, it ensures a clean, powerful, and dynamic sound – even during complex musical passages.
Mechanical stability through innovative damping technology
Ortofon relies on specially developed rubber compounds manufactured in-house for vibration dampening. These optimize reel play, minimize unwanted vibrations, and ensure precise tracking – even with demanding vinyl pressings.
MIM-formed honeycomb core – structure for highest precision
Another highlight is the stainless steel honeycomb core, manufactured using the high-precision Metal Injection Molding (MIM) process. This construction gives the cartridge exceptional mechanical stability and ideal resonance control. An additional PVD coating permanently protects the surface structure and ensures the longevity of the MC X30.
Design meets function – perfect for your HiFi system
Modern, elegant, and uncompromisingly functional: The MC X30 also impresses visually with a clean, minimalist design that integrates seamlessly into any high-quality turntable system. Every detail—from the cabinet to the stylus—demonstrates the highest craftsmanship and audiophile standards.
