Description
The ideal introduction to the MC world
The MC Quintet Red is the entry-level model of the Quintet series and offers a compelling blend of musical openness, dynamics, and gentle warmth. Its elliptical stylus, cut to Ortofon standards, enables precise tracking while maintaining a forgiving system characteristic – perfect for those who are switching to an MC system for the first time.
Low-resonance housing and robust construction
The housing is made of impact-resistant PC thermoplastic, which is extremely low-resonance, durable, and scratch-resistant. A neodymium magnet system ensures stable output voltage, while the low internal impedance (7 ohms) guarantees broad device compatibility.
Open, dynamic, and pleasantly musical
Sonically, the Quintet Red presents itself as clear and vibrant – with a slightly warmer tonal tendency that greatly benefits vocals and acoustic instruments. It is an excellent all-round system and is suitable for almost any genre, from singer-songwriter to rock.
Easy mounting – perfect view of the stylus
Thanks to the clear housing geometry, the easily visible needle, and the integrated threaded holes, mounting is particularly comfortable. The generous ground clearance also facilitates the adjustment of VTA and azimuth and enables precise adjustment even on older headshells.
