Specifically designed for the reproduction of monophonic recordings, the MC A Mono is a sophisticated moving coil pickup cartridge with a genuinely monophonic design, inside which we find Ortofon 's most elaborate technical solutions. Thus, the body is made entirely of titanium using the aforementioned “Selective Laser Melting”, which allows fine titanium particles to be welded layer by layer and therefore precisely control the density of the capsule body, all in order to obtain an exceptionally high level of internal damping and more effectively eliminate possible vibrations.
The second significant element of the MC A Mono is the use of coils with Accurum windings (very high purity oxygen-free copper plated in gold) and a boron cantilever, a combination that provides a unique combination of low moving mass and high rigidity. . Of the MC A Mono, it is also worth highlighting the use of an exclusive thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) to protect the coil windings, also contributing to increasing the overall damping level of the assembly.
Regarding the magnetic motor, we should point out the presence of a powerful neodymium magnet that allows the size and weight of the signal generation system to be minimized, to which we must add the exclusive “Field Stabilizing Element”. Magnetic Field) from Ortofon , designed to suppress any trace of potential magnetic influences. The MC A Mono is completed with one of Ortofon 's exclusive Replicant 100 diamond tips and the Scandinavian firm's sophisticated Wide Range Damping system to completely eliminate unwanted resonances.
