Rediscover the joy of vinyl records with the Ortofon OM 5E cartridge, a product that promises balanced and distortion-free playback for a general-purpose audience. Whether your tonearm has a standard headshell or a cartridge mount, the OM 5E is designed to elevate your sound reproduction experience. The cartridge features an elliptical stylus that ensures balanced and distortion-free playback, capable of following groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds due to its contoured shape. This results in better tracking and less distortion, promising an immersive auditory experience.

Key Features

  • Elliptical Stylus: The OM 5E houses an elliptical stylus that guarantees balanced and distortion-free playback, enhancing the nuances of each record.
  • Optimal Fit and Sound Reproduction: The cartridge offers an optimal fit and sound reproduction, adapting seamlessly to both standard and low mass tonearms.
  • Easy Interchangeability: The OM 5E allows for easy interchangeability with a wide range of replacement styli, offering an opportunity to optimize sound reproduction without replacing the entire cartridge.
  • Easy Installation: The OM 5E is designed for easy mounting and alignment on both top mount and bottom mount headshells, promising compatibility with a wide variety of phono preamps and playback systems.
