Carefully selected materials and thoughtful design

For decades, Ortofon has experimented with materials and their impact on sound reproduction. As a result, Quintet Red is built with a lightweight body made from durable ABS thermoplastic. This material not only provides a robust construction, but also helps minimize unwanted resonance and distortion, resulting in clean and clear sound reproduction. In addition, Ortofon has integrated neodymium magnets into Quintet Red to optimize output level and sonic detail. These powerful magnets contribute to precise and nuanced sound reproduction, where every tone and nuance in the music is conveyed clearly and naturally. Together, they deliver a harmonious and cohesive listening experience that is exceptional for the price.
