Ortofon Hi-Fi OM 5E Moving Magnet Cartridge The Ortofon OM 5 series encompasses three basic cartridges: OM 5S, OM 5E and Super OM 5E. The series is the lowest-mass range of moving magnet cartridges offered by Ortofon. The OM cartridges bodies have been designed to provide easy mounting and alignment on both top mount and bottom mount headshells. The OM 5 Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps. The Super OM 5E major improvements: By means of computer simulations it has been possible to define the natural pivot point of the system with unprecedented accuracy while achieving an optimum oscillation balance. The result: improved linearity, higher channel separation, and reduced distortion. OM Super cartridges models have split pole PINs which reduces magnetic losses at the treble end. This technology extends the frequency range and improves phase linearity. The OM Super 5 cartridge body is manufactured from a Noryl (plastic & glass compound), which ensures high rigidity and freedom from resonances.
