Product Information
”The Ortofon MC X30 remains a bit of a no-brainer purchase at this price.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2025 Product of the Year.
Nude Fine-Line diamond stylus for greater musical precision
The ideal upgrade for turntables costing over £1500, the Ortofon MC X30 introduces a Nude Fine-Line stylus for superb precision and power. Profiled to fit the records’ grooves more precisely, the stylus digs out levels of bass that’s missing from inferior styli. You also get to hear more of the recording’s fine detail, giving the music a more spacious and natural feel. With its pure silver coils, honeycomb core and efficient magnet system, the MC X30 optimises the superior diamond, for supremely smooth and refined sound.
Pure silver coils for sonic purity
Featuring high-purity, pure silver cabling at its core, the MC X30 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 X30 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 X30 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 X30 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.
Experience absolute musical precision, with the Ortofon MC X30.
