Product description Ortofon Q.Bert - Stylus
If you expect first-class performance on your turntable and want to return your cartridge system to its former glory, this perfectly fitting replacement stylus is the ideal choice. It has been specifically developed as an original replacement for the Concorde Q-Bert and OM Q-Bert systems. Thanks to its robust design and precise stylus grind, the product ensures flawless tracking and brings your records back to life with absolute clarity.
This model is particularly characterized by its enormous output of 11 mV. Due to this extremely high level, the item is perfectly suited for scratching in all musical genres, especially with deep and punchy bass frequencies. The stylus also masters heavy back-cueing effortlessly thanks to its extra-hard suspension.
During playback, you benefit from acoustic engineering that is precisely tailored to the needs of turntablists. The manufacturer uses a dampened high-frequency response to effectively minimize distracting surface noise from worn vinyl. At the same time, an emphasized midrange ensures that your scratches always remain present at the front of the soundstage.
In addition, the model impresses with low-wear characteristics, which noticeably preserves the lifespan of your valuable records. The spherical stylus grind provides optimal handling and ensures that the needle remains rock-solid in the groove even during fast movements.
