Ortofon MC Cadenza Bronze Cartridge

The Ortofon MC Cadenza Bronze is designed to bridge the gap between technical accuracy and musical emotion. Positioning itself as the most refined "musical" performer in the Cadenza range, the Bronze utilizes high-end components to deliver a lush, wide, and incredibly detailed soundstage.

The Cadenza Bronze is famous for its stereo imaging and depth. While the Cadenza Black is clinical and fast, the Bronze offers a more fluid, three-dimensional presentation. It excels at vocal textures, orchestral layering, and providing a sense of "air" around the instruments.

KEY FEATURES

• Ortofon Replicant 100 Stylus: The Bronze features the world-renowned Replicant 100 diamond. This line-contact profile is incredibly thin and light, allowing it to trace the deepest parts of the record groove with extraordinary precision and minimal surface noise.
• Conical Aluminum Cantilever: Expertly chosen for its natural damping characteristics, the aluminum cantilever provides a smooth, organic tonal balance that tames "digital" harshness.
• Aucurum Gold-Plated Coils: The internal wiring is crafted from 6-nines (99.9999%) oxygen-free copper, plated with gold. This ensures a highly conductive, loss-free signal path for a warm yet transparent sound.
• Field Stabilizing Element (FSE): A specialized cylinder of conductive material placed inside the magnet system ensures a stable magnetic field, resulting in superior channel separation and reduced intermodulation distortion.
• Rigid Stainless Steel/Aluminum Body: The heavy-duty housing effectively kills unwanted resonances, providing a silent, "black" background for your music.
