Ortofon MC Verismo: Authentic Vinyl Realism
The Ortofon MC Verismo is the pinnacle of moving‑coil cartridge engineering. Its aerospace‑grade SLM titanium body provides unparalleled rigidity and internal damping, allowing your vinyl’s true character to shine through with astonishing clarity and minimal coloration.
By combining a Line Contact Replicant 100 diamond stylus on a solid diamond cantilever with a compact neodymium magnet generator and non‑magnetic armature, the MC Verismo delivers stunning channel separation, dynamic impact, and vanishingly low distortion—all with a setup as simple as a 2.6 g tracking force and a 10 Ω load.
- SLM Titanium Body: Layer‑by‑layer fused titanium chassis for maximum rigidity and resonance control.
- Replicant 100 Stylus: Line Contact diamond closely matches the original cutting stylus for ultimate groove tracing.
- High‑Performance Generator: Neodymium magnet and specialized alloy armature for broad dynamics and low distortion.
- Optimized Compliance: 13 µm/mN lateral compliance suits a wide range of high‑end tonearms.
- Effortless Setup: 2.6 g recommended tracking force (2.5 – 2.8 g) and 7 Ω internal impedance with a 10 Ω load for noise‑free integration.
