Ortofon MC Vivo Blue Moving Coil Cartridge – Ortofon

A standard, low-output general purpose Moving Coil cartridge. A special 7-nines (99.9999% pure) copper wire manufactured in Japan. Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load and therefore ensures compatibility with the widest range of preamps and transformers. A special and newly developed poly-carbonate based resin, Lexan DMX, in Piano Black is used for the manufacturing of the body. This revolutionary material improves rigidity and damping properties and also has a very durable scratch resistant surface. Rigidity is an important performance character as the plastic-body serves as basis for the generator.
