The next link in Ortofon 's family of high-output moving coil pickup capsules, the MC 3 Turbo incorporates a series of refinements in its internal structure that allow it to offer, delivering exactly the same electrical voltage at its output, a sweeter and more intense sound. energetic. Specifically, the use of one of Ortofon 's exclusive Fine Line Nude diamond tips enables the MC 3 Turbo to exhibit superior records in terms of groove tracking ability and compliance, parameters both closely related to the capacity of a capsule. to explore vinyl records and extract all the sonic subtleties they contain.
Thanks to this, the frequency response curve extends up to 30 kHz, therefore competing with many traditional moving coil models. On the other hand, the MC 3 Turbo's high-output moving coil cartridge status allows it to comfortably fit any phono section compatible with moving magnet (MM) cartridges, thus avoiding the extra expense of needing have dedicated amplification circuitry or a step-up transformer. The MC 3 Turbo is also characterized by its extreme lightness, a detail that makes it the perfect complement to the moderate mass arms that equip many high quality/price ratio turntables available on the market.
