MC CADENZA BRONZE

The MC Cadenza Bronze is a true high-end reference cartridge that reproduces music with ultimate precision, impact and dynamics.

The Cadenza Bronze is equipped with a Replicant 100 stylus and a tapered aluminum cantilever. The coil wire is the famous Ortofon Aucurum wire, a gold-coated 6NX copper wire.

The use of a Field Stabilizing Element (FSE) ensures optimal linearity, especially during complex crescendo passages.

The stereo imaging capabilities of the Cadenza Bronze illuminate the furthest corners of the soundstage in all three dimensions.

Performance Increase

The Cadenza Series
At Ortofon, we are constantly looking for new technologies to integrate into our products and improve the performance of existing ones. In this way, we guarantee the highest level of performance and quality. The Kontrapunkt models and MC Jubilee have become market standards and are among our most popular cartridges. Despite this success, Ortofon decided to develop a new cartridge series that is even more ambitious.

Each of the five Cadenza Series cartridges has its own unique sonic expression, and all five models together represent the ensemble of five classic variations.

The MC Cadenza Bronze adds even more detail and resolution, but in a very balanced way that respects all elements.
