The Ortofon MC Xpression marries the venerable SPU headshell form factor with the cutting‑edge engineering of Ortofon’s A90 and Windfeld series, delivering a cartridge that feels instantly familiar to SPU aficionados yet sounds unmistakably modern. Its one‑piece body, created via Selective Laser Melting (SLM) from aerospace‑grade titanium and stainless steel, offers an ultrarigid chassis that soaks up unwanted vibrations and lets the music speak for itself.
From the first groove to the final fade-out, you’ll hear a remarkably open soundstage—airy highs, articulate mids, and punchy bass—all rendered with precision and musicality. The MC Xpression’s SPU‑height mount guarantees the correct vertical tracking angle on SPU‑compatible tonearms, making setup effortless and ensuring that every record plays back exactly as the artist intended.
Elevate your analog experience—add the Ortofon MC Xpression to your cart today and rediscover your records in stunning detail.
