The MC Verismo will undoubtedly provide sound which simply has to be experienced.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe name Verismo is derived from the Italian “vero”, meaning “true”, and is Italian for \"realism\". Versimo was a post-Romantic operatic genre that had its origins in an Italian literary movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Verismo's operatic tradition is associated with Italian composers such as Pietro Mascagni, Ruggero Leoncavallo, Umberto Giordano, Francesco Cilea, and Giacomo Puccini, who sought to portray the world with greater realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Ortofon, our ultimate purpose is to continually raise the bar for true, faithful, and accurate reproduction of the recorded sound. It is to provide the ultimate musical experience through a mixture of innovation and technical expertise, creating unique value for all listeners by allowing them to reveal music’s true inner emotions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the preconditions for linear reproduction with a wide frequency range and optimal tracking performance is a diamond - the shape of which is as close as possible to the original cutting stylus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs in all Exclusives series cartridges, the MC Verismo makes use of the Ortofon's Replicant 100 diamond. This Line Contact type stylus distinguishes itself by having a narrow and long contact surface, which is as close as possible to the original cutting stylus. This ensures the most accurate reproduction, lowest distortion, and extended frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge body\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe housing of the Verismo cartridge is made in Titanium with the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technique pioneered by Ortofon. This technique allows for precise control of the density of the body material, allowing for extremely high internal damping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SLM technology and high precision process is considered an engineering breakthrough, the SLM process welds fine particles of Titanium together, layer-by layer, to construct a single piece body devoid of extraneous material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIn the MC Verismo, the cartridge’s contact with the tonearm takes place through three well-defined contact points placed on the top side of the cartridge. This means that the mechanical integration of the cartridge and the tonearm arm is always absolutely perfect and will result in a significant and breathtaking increase in dynamics, resolution, and richness in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section__block reading-width rte\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"metafield-rich_text_field\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith optimized weight and moderate compliance to suit the majority of modern tonearms, the MC Verismo is easily compatible with an endless array of contemporary high-end turntable equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiamond cantilever\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe addition of a solid Diamond cantilever provides the best possible interface between the stylus and armature, owing to its hardness and crystal structure. The improvements found in the use of a Diamond cantilever have redefined the boundaries of analog reproduction, presenting greater inner detail, subtlety, and depth like never before.\n\u003cp\u003eMuch like its predecessors, the MC A95 and the MC Windfeld Ti, the MC Verismo employs the special designed armature comprised of a metal alloy which is less magnetic than normal iron. This provides noteworthy benefit to the dynamic capabilities of the cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe new armature achieves extreme precision in each coil turn in all layers. This enables the MC Verismo to obtain a higher degree of channel separation, while simultaneously offering lower distortion and better channel balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing Ortofon’s Aucurum coils of gold-plated, 6NX oxygen-free copper allows for zero-loss transmission of the diamond’s movements via its Diamond cantilever. This combination makes use of low moving mass and an extremely high degree of rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel balance at 1 kHz: 0.5 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput voltage at 1 kHz, 5cm\/sec: 0.2 mV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel separation at 1 kHz: \u0026gt;25 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz: +2dB\/-1dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliance, dynamic, lateral: 13 μm\/mN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCantilever material: Diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus type: Nude Ortofon Replicant 100 Diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus tip radius: r\/R 5\/100 μm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoil system: Aucurum Coil Wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking force, recommended: 2.6 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal impedance, DC resistance: 7 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoil wire material: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAucurum Coil Wire\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge body material: SLM Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge weight: 9.5 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended load resistance: \u0026gt; 10 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ortofon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68005977227539,"sku":null,"price":8499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9879\/files\/ORTOFONMCVerismoMovingCoilCartridge-DOUGLASHIFI.webp?v=1794491141","url":"https:\/\/www.douglashifi.com.au\/products\/ortofon-mc-verismo-moving-coil-cartridge","provider":"Douglas Hifi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
