Product Information
The perfect partner for serious turntables, the Ortofon MC X40 delivers spectacular detail, dynamics and sheer musicality from all your vinyl.
Flagship model for breathtaking sound
The Ortofon MC X40 is the range-topping model, with further enhancements for the most transparent and responsive sound possible. Fitted with a boron cantilever and Shibata spherical diamond that’s more usually fitted to Ortofon’s reference cartridges, you get to experience true high-end musical detail and staging. The stylus’s wide contact area doesn’t just mean more detail; it also ensures less damage to your precious records.
Pure silver coils for sonic purity
Featuring high-purity, pure silver cabling at its core, the MC X40 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 X40 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 X40 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 X40 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.
