Product Information
With its smooth and harmonious sound, the Ortofon MC X10 clearly demonstrates the benefits of upgrading your turntable cartridge to MC.
The perfect introduction to Moving Coil cartridges
Ideal as your first introduction into MC (Moving Coil) cartridges, the Ortofon MC X10 shows the full potential of this premium cartridge solution. MC cartridges use a different type of motor system to MM (Moving Magnet) cartridges. Although the output is lower, they generally deliver greater tonal accuracy and a smoother, more lifelike sound. With its pure silver coils, honeycomb core and efficient magnet system, the MC X10 optimises these characteristics, for supremely smooth and refined sound.
Pure silver coils for sonic purity
Featuring high-purity, pure silver cabling at its core, the MC X10 offers low signal resistance for exceptional clarity and detail. With the sound originating at this point, this is where signal loss can be the most harmful, making the low-loss coils even more important.
Light and rigid honeycomb body
Using Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) technology for the cartridge body, the MC X10 is as light yet rigid as possible. The high rigidity body helps provide the most stable support for the delicate motor system. For a high quality and long lasting finish, the moulding is treated with Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD).
Efficient magnet system
With a newly developed magnet system, the MC X10 ensures a clean, powerful signal that’s highly efficient. This means that, when combined with the pure silver cores, you get to experience the purest and least distorted sound possible.
Custom-developed rubber dampers to reduce distortion
For maximum resistance to vibration, the MC X10 uses custom designed rubber dampers. These control the coil system’s movement, ensuring stability and precise movement. The result is improved tracking and reduced distortion.
