The Ortofon MC Quintet Black S is the flagship of the Quintet range, designed for listeners who value natural precision and musical depth. Its Nude Shibata stylus, mounted on a sapphire cantilever, provides a wide contact area with the groove walls, ensuring superb tracking, openness and lifelike detail across the entire frequency spectrum.
The body is made from a special PC thermoplastic that is lightweight, rigid and scratch-resistant, minimizing unwanted vibrations. Combined with neodymium magnets and a low internal impedance, this design guarantees a clean, balanced and dynamic output compatible with a wide range of phono preamps and step-up transformers.
Easy to install via top-mounting screws and with excellent stylus visibility, the Quintet Black S is user-friendly yet sonically refined. It reveals subtle nuances in every recording – from delicate acoustic arrangements to powerful orchestral works.
