Description

With the MC X50, the MC X Series reaches its most advanced implementation. Building on the established platform, the MC X50 introduces a refined combination of stylus and cantilever, designed to achieve a higher level of control and consistency in groove tracing.

At the core is a nude Micro Ridge diamond, engineered for precise contact with the groove and accurate tracing of fine modulations, particularly at high frequencies and across inner grooves. This is paired with a boron cantilever, providing high stiffness with low moving mass for fast and controlled response to signal variations.

A rubber suspension, designed and produced in-house by Ortofon using a newly developed compound specific to the MC X50, plays a central role in its performance, working in balance with the Micro Ridge stylus and boron cantilever to ensure stable tracking and consistent groove contact.

The MC X Series

The MC X Series is engineered for a higher level of moving coil performance. Across the range, each model is defined by controlled tracking, signal integrity, and consistent retrieval of groove detail, with a clear technical progression from one level to the next.

From elliptical to Micro Ridge stylus profiles, and from Aluminium to Boron cantilevers, each step in the series reflects a measurable refinement in groove contact, system response, and overall accuracy.

The New Flagship Cartridge in the X Series

The MC X50 represents the most advanced expression of the MC X platform. By combining a Micro Ridge stylus profile with a boron cantilever and a dedicated suspension system, it achieves the highest level of tracking stability, lowest distortion, and most precise retrieval of recorded detail within the series.
