The Super OM 5E features improved linearity higher channel separation and an Elliptical stylus that provides balanced and distortion-free playback. The Elliptical diamonds are able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds due to their contoured shape. This results in better tracking and less distortion.FeaturesEliptical StylusOrtofon's Lowest-Mass Range of MM CartridgeRemovable Weight-PlateDesigned for Easy Mounting & AlignmentExcellent Stylus CompatibilityStyli Types And InterchangeabilityBy adopting a wide range of replacement styli the OM 5 Series can provide an optimum match for your home system application and budget. In the development of OM cartridges a major objective was to provide the music lover with the opportunity to optimize sound reproduction without having to replace the entire cartridge. Instead of being merely intended for replacement purposes following wear or damage the OM 5 Series allows you to step up to better sound by simply upgrading the stylus.Stylus CompatibilityDepending on your preference styli for the OM 5 Series are easily interchanged and include: styli 3E 5E 10 20 30 40 & 78 and D 25 M.What's in the BoxSuper OM 5E MM Phono CartridgeSpecificationsChannel balance at 1 kHz: 1.5 dBOutput voltage at 1 kHz 5cm/sec: 4 mVChannel separation at 1 kHz: 22 dBChannel separation at 15 kHz: 15 dBFrequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz: 20-22.000 Hz + 3 / -3Tracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force: 60 µmCompliance dynamic lateral: 20 µm/mNStylus type: EllipticalStylus tip radius: r/R 8/18 µmTracking force range: 1.5-2.0 g (15-20 mN)Tracking force recommended: 1.75 g (17.5 mN)Tracking angle: 20°Internal impedance DC resistance: 1 kOhmCartridge color: Black/BlackCartridge weightincl. extra weight: 5 gexcl. extra weight: 2.5 gRecommended load resistance: 47 kOhmInternal inductance: 580 mHRecommended load capacitance: 200-500 pF
