With the MC X series, Ortofon presents a new generation of high-quality moving coil cartridges that take analog music reproduction to an extraordinary level. At its heart is an innovative stainless steel housing with a honeycomb structure, manufactured using the MIM process (Metal Injection Molding) and finished with a PVD surface treatment. This design guarantees maximum mechanical stability and enables high-precision sound reproduction. The pickup of the MC X series impresses with a balanced interplay of state-of-the-art technology and fine materials. Coils made of high-purity silver wire ensure detailed, clear signal transmission, while the magnet system with integrated pole cylinder significantly increases the efficiency and dynamics of the sound image.
Special attention is paid to the mechanical damping system: specially developed rubber compounds improve the control of the coil movement and minimize resonances. The result is outstanding tracking accuracy and authentic, low-distortion music reproduction. The MC X20 also features a nude elliptical diamond that opens up new sonic dimensions and reveals musical details with impressive depth. In terms of sound, the series delivers a harmonious blend of warmth, transparency and precision - perfectly tuned for demanding high-fidelity systems.
The design impresses with its modern, minimalist aesthetics. The MC X series therefore stands not only for acoustic excellence, but also for design excellence. It is aimed at anyone who wants to combine the highest sound quality with technical innovation and precision craftsmanship - a new benchmark for analog perfection.
