About the OM30 Super
The Ortofon OM-30 Super phono cartridge is based on Ortofon's lightweight moving magnet system with two major refinements: precise computer-simulated natural pivot point for optimum oscillation balance, and slit hollow pole pins to reduce eddy current losses, extending frequency range and improving phase linearity. It offers an output voltage of 4mV at 1kHz, frequency response from 20Hz to 29kHz, and a recommended tracking force of 1.5g. The cartridge uses a nude fine line stylus with an 8/40 µm tip radius, providing excellent tracking ability and low distortion. It is designed for high fidelity vinyl playback with a balanced, neutral sound signature, good dynamics, and adaptability to various tonearms. The cartridge weighs 5g and is black in color. Stylus upgrades are available for enhanced performance.
