ORTOFON MC CADENZA RED

Ortofon MC Cadenza Red

Cadenza, derived from the Italian word “cadence”, refers to a section within a musical performance, typically a concerto, in which the orchestra ends its playing and allows the soloist to play independently and unhindered by a strict rhythmic pattern.

The sound of the Cadenza Red is relaxed, homogeneous and moderately dynamic and has great spatiality and depth in the stereo image.
The Cadenza Red model uses a Nude Fine Line pen with a cylindrical aluminum boom. The tip radius is r/R 8/40 µm.
The coils are made of 6NX (99.9999%) pure silver wire. An improved winding process on the anchor allows for better channel balance.

MC Cadenza Red delivers an open, dynamic sound with a hint of warmth.
