OM 5E features Elliptical stylus that provides balanced and distortion-free playback.

If your tonearm has a standard headshell or a cartridge mount, then step up to optimal sound reproduction with OMs.

A glance at any one of these cartridges will reveal Ortofon's answer to perfect tonearm matching.

Ingeniously tucked into the top of the mounting bracket is a tiny, removable weight-plate.

If your tonearm is a standard tonearm, just leave the weight-plate. If your tonearm is one of the low mass types, then simply remove the weight. The mass of your OM cartridge is now a mere 2.5g.

The series is the lowest-mass range of moving magnet cartridges offered by Ortofon.

The OM cartridges bodies have been designed to provide easy mounting and alignment on both top mount and bottom mount headshells.

The OM 5 Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.
