What are cartridge technologies? How do they affect the performance of the cartridge, and, most importantly, how does it affect your listening experience?
In this video, you will learn about four cartridge technologies, how they work, and how they can improve the listening experience. Leif Johannsen, Ortofon’s Chief Officer of Acoustics and Research, will take you through the physics, and you will get to understand everything about:
1) Split Pole Pins, which is about magnetics, and how to reduce the loss of energy and, as a result, reduce the loss of the musical signal.
2) Selective Lazer Melting is about making houses with no unwanted vibration.
3) Field Stabilizing Element, which is about improving the properties of the magnetic field in the moving coils and, finally
4) Wide Range Damping is about enhancing the properties of the rubber suspension system in the cartridge.
