It takes the strengths of the Quintet platform and pushes them further, offering a more revealing and more sophisticated presentation with excellent control across the frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA big part of its appeal comes from the combination of a Nude Shibata diamond and a sapphire cantilever. This pairing is especially effective at tracing very fine groove information, helping the cartridge uncover subtle detail, spaciousness and tonal nuance while keeping the sound smooth and composed. The result is a cartridge that sounds highly insightful and accurate without becoming hard or clinical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Quintet Black S is also thoughtfully designed for installation and system matching. Threaded mounting holes make it easier to fit securely, the square-sided body helps with alignment, and the low internal impedance makes it less sensitive to load with a wide range of suitable preamps and transformers. For anyone looking for the most accomplished cartridge in the Quintet family, the Ortofon MC Quintet Black S is a very compelling choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlagship Quintet moving coil design delivers exceptional detail, precision and musical insight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNude Shibata diamond helps retrieve outstanding high-frequency information with low distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSapphire cantilever supports a highly controlled, refined and articulate presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load and broadly compatible with suitable preamps and transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent soundstage scale and image focus make it a strong choice for serious high-end vinyl systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded mounting holes make installation more secure and more straightforward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare-sided body shape helps make alignment easier during setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA standout choice for listeners wanting the highest-performing model in the Quintet range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"hb-quintetblack-panel-2\" class=\"hb-panel\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Moving coil phono cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Voltage: 0.3mV at 1kHz, 5cm\/sec.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20Hz to 20,000Hz +\/-1.5dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Separation: Greater than 23dB at 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Balance: Less than 1.0dB at 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking Ability: 80µm at 315Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliance, Dynamic Lateral: 15µm\/mN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Impedance, DC Resistance: 5 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Load Impedance: Greater than 20 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus Profile: Nude Shibata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus Tip Radius: r\/R 6\/50µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCantilever Material: Sapphire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoil Wire Material: Aucurum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Tracking Force: 2.3g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking Force Range: 2.1 to 2.5g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking Angle: 20°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge Body Material: PC thermoplastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge Weight: 9g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrtofon MC Quintet Black S cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ortofon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21288048951350,"sku":"","price":875.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/4606\/3670\/files\/Untitled_3500x3500px_98.png?v=1776336955","url":"https:\/\/www.holburnonline.co.uk\/products\/ortofon-quintet-black-s","provider":"Holburn Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
