The Ortofon MC X40 is crafted for audiophiles who want to hear every last detail in their records with absolute clarity and control. At its core is a nude Shibata diamond stylus, one of the most advanced profiles available for vinyl playback. Its shape allows for maximum contact with the groove, retrieving fine musical detail across a wide frequency range. This stylus is mounted on a boron cantilever, which is both extremely rigid and lightweight. This combination enhances responsiveness, speed, and transparency in the overall sound.
In keeping with the rest of the MC X Series, the X40 features high-purity silver coils for clean and accurate signal transmission, a precisely engineered magnet system for maximum efficiency, and custom rubber dampers that help eliminate unwanted resonance. These components are housed in a honeycomb-structured stainless-steel frame, manufactured using MIM technology for mechanical stability. The MC X40 is the ultimate choice for listeners who want to experience their records with uncompromising fidelity.
