{"product_id":"ortofon-mc-vertex-moving-coil-phono-cartridge","title":"Ortofon MC Vertex Moving Coil Phono Cartridge","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ortofon MC Vertex moving coil phono cartridge uses an integrated design in which mechanical, magnetic, and structural components work as a single system. The body and internal core are made from titanium using Selective Laser Melting, with a controlled internal cavity for resonance damping. A Diamond-Like Carbon surface coating provides a durable black finish with laser-engraved logos, creating a mechanically inert housing that suppresses internal vibrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMechanical energy transfer relies on a Vertex line contact diamond stylus mounted directly into a laser-polished solid diamond cantilever. The stylus features a 4 µm scanning radius paired with an extended 110 µm contact radius, spreading force across groove walls while maintaining tracking precision. Dynamic tracking force is rated at a recommended 2.5 grams with a 23-degree tracking angle, yielding a flat frequency response within plus or minus 1 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternal signal generation utilizes precision-wound, high-purity silver coils mounted to a non-magnetic armature, preventing unwanted magnetic interactions inside the generator. An updated Wide Range Damping system uses a platinum disc placed between two distinct, in-house-developed rubber compounds to manage mechanical resonance across the frequency spectrum. This configuration produces an output voltage of 0.3 mV at 0.1 dB channel balance and 30 dB channel separation, making it ideal for high-fidelity sound system setup applications requiring a load impedance above 100 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ortofon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47784529756244,"sku":"ORTOFON:MC-VERTEX","price":16999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/OrtofonMCVertexMovingCoilPhonoCartridge_12.png?v=1791552779","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/products\/ortofon-mc-vertex-moving-coil-phono-cartridge","provider":"Audio Advice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
