About the Ortofon MC Quintet Series cartridges Thank you for choosing the Ortofon Quintet moving coil cartridge system for high performance sound reproduction of your favourite analogue records. Our company has been working with sound reproduction since 1918. Ortofon developed its first phono cartridge in 1948, since then more than 300 different phono cartridges have been engineered and manufactured.
Mounting the cartridge Cartridge front view Connecting Please correlate the colour code for the terminals on the drawing with the colour codings on the cartridge. The terminals for right and left channel have the same position as normal for Ortofon cartridges. We recommend to mount lead wires on cartridge and tonearm before aligning and calibrating the cartridge. Lead wires of length 35 mm will fit a distance between cartridge and tonearm terminals and will work with most head shells.
Azimuth, vertical alignment Cartridge top view Azimuth adjustment or vertical alignment of the cartridge is very important for optimal channel separation. The checking is easily done by lowering the cartridge onto a thin mirror placed on the record surface and examining whether the reflection lines up square with the cartridge, when viewed from the front. During this test tonearm must still be parallel to the record surface.
Tonearm level, vertical tracking angle Stylus care Cartridges are constructed so that cantilever angle corresponds to the 20 deg. record cutting angle, when the cartridge is loaded with recommended tracking force and the cartridge base is parallel with the tonearm and this again is parallel to the record surface. Ortofon does not recommend the use of solvents of any kind for cleaning of either the record surface or stylus.
