The Ortofon MC 7500 is part of Ortofon's MC '000 series of moving coil cartridges, designed for superior sound reproduction compared to traditional magnetic designs. It features an Ortoline stylus with a tip radius of r/R 4.5/100 µm and an aluminium cantilever. The cartridge has a frequency range of 20-65,000 Hz and a tracking ability greater than 80 µm at 315 Hz lateral. It has a dynamic lateral compliance of 12 µm/mN and a recommended tracking force of 2.5 g. The internal impedance is 6 Ohm with a recommended load impedance of greater than 70 Ohm. The cartridge body is made of pure titanium and weighs 11.0 g. It outputs approximately 130 µV at 1000 Hz, 5 cm/sec velocity, with channel balance under 1 dB and channel separation over 25 dB at 1 kHz. This cartridge is highly regarded for its detailed and dynamic sound reproduction, suitable for audiophiles seeking high fidelity analog playback.
