Ortofon OM 40 Super cartridge

The Ortofon OM40 Super phono cartridge offers pinnacle performance and sound quality. It attains the highest fidelity for the Best Buy Rated and Editor\'s Choice Super OM series of phono cartridges. It uses a nude FG 70 diamond for superlative tracing and tracking of record grooves thus elevating clarity, micro detail, frequency extension and refinement to their highest elevation. This is the ultimate cartridge for the fastidious listener who requires the best performance from their audio turntable system and record collection for listening or recording to digital.

Exclusive technologies deliver superior results
The world class performance of the Super OM40 cartridge is based on Ortofon\'s lightweight moving magnet system, originally introduced in the OM (Optimum Match) Series, with two (2) major refinements:

-By means of advanced computer simulation methods, Ortofon is able to define the natural pivot point of the system with unprecedented accuracy while achieving an optimum oscillation balance. This results in improved linearity, higher channel separation, and reduced distortion.

-Ortofon also developed a technique to \"slit\" the less than 1 mm diameter hollow pole pins, thus significantly reducing eddy current losses caused by magnetic hysteresis. This sophisticated technology extends the frequency range and improves phase linearity.
