Carefully selected materials and well-thought-out design

For decades, Ortofon has experimented with materials and their effect on sound reproduction. As a result, the Quintet Red is constructed in a lightweight body made from durable ABS thermoplastic. This material not only ensures a robust construction, but also minimizes unwanted resonance and distortion, resulting in a clean and clear sound reproduction. In addition, Ortofon has integrated Neodymium magnets in the Quintet Red to optimize the output level and the details of the sound. These powerful magnets contribute to a precise and nuanced sound reproduction, where every note and nuance from the music is portrayed clearly and naturally. Together, it provides a harmonious and integral listening experience that is unique for the price.
