Ortofon MC 90X MC Cartridge

The Ortofon MC 90X MC Cartridge is available for demonstration in our Hull store by request.

The Ortofon MC 90X MC Phono Cartridge represents a modern reimagining of the iconic MC A90, combining Ortofon's long-standing expertise in analogue sound reproduction with groundbreaking advancements in materials and technology. Designed for audiophiles seeking the utmost precision and depth in their vinyl listening experience, this limited-edition cartridge is crafted to reveal the finest details in every record.

A new striking blue finish and improved rubber dampers enhance both its performance and aesthetics, while a stainless-steel structure, produced using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology, provides the ideal balance of rigidity and resonance control. Every cartridge is hand-assembled and rigorously tested, ensuring that it delivers the highest level of authenticity, bringing out the nuances of your vinyl like never before.

One of the standout features of the Ortofon MC 90X MC Phono Cartridge is its advanced Wide Range Damping (WRD) system. This innovative system incorporates a platinum disc placed between two specially designed rubber absorbers, significantly enhancing tracking accuracy and controlling resonance across the entire frequency range.

Ortofon’s proprietary rubber compounds further refine the damping characteristics, reducing distortion and improving sound clarity. These advancements in damping technology allow the MC 90X to deliver an exceptionally linear frequency response, extended upper frequency range, and enhanced sound precision, making it the ideal choice for those seeking the ultimate in detail and clarity.

At the core of the Ortofon MC 90X MC Phono Cartridge is the flagship Ortofon Replicant 100 diamond stylus. Renowned for its thin, lightweight profile and exceptionally large contact surface, this stylus closely mimics the original cutting stylus, ensuring that every groove is traced with unmatched precision.

The stylus works in tandem with a superior boron cantilever, known for its rigidity and lightness, to achieve remarkable transparency and speed. This combination allows for unparalleled responsiveness, translating to a dynamic, high-performance sound that brings every note and nuance of the original recording to life.

The result is an immersive listening experience with stunning clarity and fidelity across all genres.

The Ortofon MC 90X MC Phono Cartridge is crafted with the highest level of precision, thanks to the revolutionary Selective Laser Melting (SLM) manufacturing process. This cutting-edge technique uses laser welding to fuse micro-particles into a single, rigid body, which minimizes unwanted resonances and optimizes the cartridge’s mass.

The result is superior sound quality with enhanced rigidity and a perfect balance of performance and precision. Additionally, the coil wires are made of Aucurum, a gold-plated, 6NX oxygen-free copper alloy, ensuring exceptional signal transmission for a pristine and clear audio experience.

With these advanced technologies and meticulous craftsmanship, the MC 90X guarantees an unmatched listening experience, continuing Ortofon's legacy of excellence in analogue sound.
