Perfect tonearm matching becomes effortless with the OM 5S moving magnet cartridge, featuring Ortofon's ingenious removable weight-plate system built right into the mounting bracket. This general purpose cartridge adapts to both standard and low mass tonearms - simply leave the weight-plate for standard tonearms, or remove it to achieve a featherlight 2.5g mass for low mass applications. Please note: this product does not include a headshell.
The OM 5 Series represents a smart approach to audio optimisation, allowing music lovers to upgrade their sound reproduction without replacing the entire cartridge. Rather than treating stylus replacement as merely a maintenance task, this system lets you step up to superior performance by simply upgrading the stylus component.
Stylus compatibility spans an impressive range, with easily interchangeable options including the 3E, 5E, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 78 models, plus the D 25 M variant. This flexibility means you can match your OM cartridge to your specific home system requirements, listening preferences and budget considerations.
