Nothing reflects Ortofon’s enduring legacy better than its unwavering pursuit of analog perfection. Since 1948, Ortofon has developed nearly 100 moving coil cartridge designs, each building on decades of refinement and innovation. The Quintet Series is the culmination of that experience—and the Quintet Black proudly stands at the pinnacle of this range.


Engineered for Sonic Truth

At the heart of the Quintet Black is a Nude Shibata diamond stylus, one of the most advanced and revered stylus profiles available. Mounted on a high-performance Boron cantilever, this configuration allows for an exceptionally wide groove contact area, enabling the cartridge to extract the most intricate musical details—including the most elusive high-frequency information—with absolute precision.


Natural, Detailed, Uncolored Sound

Designed to perform across all musical genres, the Quintet Black offers:

  • Uncompromised accuracy and resolution

  • Superb tracking ability

  • A highly refined, neutral sonic signature

It represents the closest the Quintet Series comes to Ortofon’s reference-level sound, delivering music with realism, depth, and nuance.


A Legacy of Innovation

The MC Quintet Black embodies Ortofon's guiding philosophy: to reproduce music with exceptional clarity, free from coloration or distortion. This cartridge is a testament to the brand’s position as a world leader in phono cartridge technology—and a clear choice for listeners who demand nothing short of fidelity.
