Ortofon - Kontrapunkt C MC Cartridge
The Kontrapunkt C incorporates Ortofon’s newly developed FSE (Field Stabilizing Element) to achieve optimal frequency response linearity by stabilizing the magnetic field – especially during complex crescendo passages – and to ensure consistently fine channel separation across the frequency band.
An output of 470 µV ensures an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio with any MC input. The conical aluminium cantilever is fitted with a Nude FG 80 diamond stylus.
Our listening panel concludes: Kontrapunkt c is a true high end reference cartridge, conveying music with supreme precision, impact and dynamics. Its stereo imaging capabilities illuminate the furthest corners of the soundstage in all three dimensions.
Recommended load: 50 – 100 Ohms. For enhanced openness – as high as 1,000 Ohms.
