Ortofon MC X40 – Precision without compromise
The Ortofon MC X40 is the flagship of the MC X series – a cartridge for listeners who want to experience not just music, but precision and authenticity. Designed for discerning vinyl enthusiasts, the MC X40 combines state-of-the-art technology with consistent material selection. The result: a cartridge that doesn't sugarcoat anything, but rather reproduces the entire musical spectrum honestly and with impressive detail.
Key benefits at a glance:
Precise signal transmission through silver coils
The MC X40 uses coils made of high-purity silver wire. This material transmits the signal with exceptional clarity, ensuring that fine details are as present as dynamic peaks – without any sonic coloration.
Stable mechanics for precise scanning
The cartridge features a specially developed rubber mount that suppresses unwanted vibrations and ensures precise movement. This enables particularly smooth, distortion-free playback—even with complex material.
Efficient magnet design for high energy yield
A newly designed magnet system with a continuous pole core maximizes the magnetic flux – a crucial factor for clean signal acquisition and high fidelity.
Boron needle carrier and Shibata cut
The ultra-light, rigid boron cantilever carries a naked Shibata diamond. This combination allows for extremely fine groove tracking and fast impulse response, resulting in natural spatial imaging and excellent high-frequency response.
MIM-manufactured stainless steel case with honeycomb structure
The MC X40's enclosure is manufactured using a metal injection molding process. The honeycomb structure ensures high mechanical stability while remaining lightweight—guaranteeing smooth, precise sound reproduction.
