S version with spherical needle.
Destined to be the new gateway to Ortofon 's fascinating SPU sound universe, the SPU#1 is an elegant pickup cartridge available in two versions (S with spherical needle and E with elliptical needle) that immediately stands out for its exclusive body made of ground wood and resin that integrates the capsule itself and is attached to the reading arm using a universal connector. At an engineering level, SPU#1 is a low-output (0.18 mV) moving coil (MC) design, which suggests combining it with either a high-gain preamp stage or a dedicated step-up transformer, such as for example the ST-7 from Ortofon itself.
Regarding the reading arm, it is recommended to work with models of moderate or high mass, with a special preference for the TA-110 and TA-210 models from the Danish firm. Thanks to its careful design, this exquisite pickup capsule exhibits a virtually flat frequency response curve across the entire audio frequency range, while its extraordinary tracking ability allows you to explore with authority. the groove of any vinyl.
