Description Ortofon Hi-Fi MC X40 Moving Coil Cartridge Push your listening experience further with the Ortofon Hi-Fi MC X40 Moving Coil Cartridge, an audiophiles dream.. View Product Information >> View Ortofon Products >> Features Exceptional Signal Clarity Pure Silver Coil System – All MC X cartridges feature coils wound with high-purity silver wire. The use of premium materials is to ensure exceptional signal clarity, delivering sound with unmatched precision and preserving every detail without interference. Maximum Magnetic Efficiency Magnet system – the MC X Series introduces a newly developed magnet system with a one-piece pole cylinder integrated into a rear magnet yoke. Engineered for maximum magnetic efficiency and paired with pure silver coils, this configuration ensures a clean, powerful signal path that elevates overall performance. Precision Engineering for Unmatched Stability Custom-Developed Rubber Dampers – In-house produced and developed rubber compounds form the core of the MC X Series’ mechanical damping system. Rubber dampers are essential for controlling the physical movement of the coils, maintaining stability, minimizing unwanted vibrations, and enabling precise coil motion. The result is superior tracking, reduced distortion, and musical accuracy. MIM-Molded Honeycomb-Structured Core Experience the depth. Hear every detail – at the core of the MC X Series is an advanced honeycomb-structured stainless-steel frame, created using Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology. This refined construction ensures superior mechanical stability, providing an ideal foundation for precise and accurate sound reproduction. After molding and sintering, a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) surface treatment is applied to enhance surface appearance and maintain material integrity over time. Modern Elegance with Distinctive Design The Shape of Sound – the MC X Series embodies modern elegance with a distinctive design that seamlessly complements the tonearm. From afar, its silhouette speaks of minimalist refinement; up close, its intricate detailing reveals craftsmanship at every level. True to Ortofon’s signature aesthetic, it’s a sophisticated fusion of form and function.
