The Ortofon SPU Synergy G updates the iconic SPU cartridge series for optimal compatibility and sonic purity. It features a ground wood and resin composite body, high purity copper (OFC) coil wire, and a significantly reduced stylus tip mass for lower vertical tracking force (VTF) and enhanced tracking ability compared to traditional SPUs. The revised generator system delivers a maximum output of 0.5 mV, reducing the need for high-gain transformers or active preamps. Supplied pre-mounted on a classic Ortofon headshell with universal SME connector, it offers a bold, expressive sound ideal for stereo vinyl playback.
