Ortofon MC Vivo Red Moving Coil Cartridge

Ortofon MC Vivo Red

Standard low-output general purpose Moving Coil cartridge.

Special 7-nines (99.9999% pure) copper wire manufactured in Japan.

Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load and therefore ensures compatibility with the widest range of preamps and transformers.

A special newly developed polycarbonate based resin, Lexan DMX, in Piano Black is used for manufacturing of the body. This revolutionary material improves rigidity and damping properties and also has a very durable scratch resistant surface. Rigidity is an important performance character as the plastic-body serves as basis for the generator.
