DESCRIPTION

The Ortofon Exclusives series of our highest-performing Moving Coil cartridges has now been expanded to include the brand new MC A MONO cartridge


The MC A Mono is a TRUE MONO cartridge for play-back of MONO recordings.

If you play a MONO record with a stereo cartridge you will not achieve the same signal in the two channels due to imperfections such as crosstalk, noise, phase errors, tracking error, antiskating and distortion. This difference between the channels will result in an unstable and partially fuzzy image. A mono switch, to some extent, can improve this.

Playing MONO record with a TRUE MONO cartridge will have none of the aforementioned problems, as this cartridge only produces one signal, which afterwards is directed to both channels in the system. This will provide a much more forceful and stable image with a fuller sound.

Another significant advantage of using a TRUE MONO cartridge to play MONO records is the absence of response to vertical movement. This means that a TRUE MONO cartridge is essentially impervious to the pinching effect which comes into action when the stylus is pushed vertically upward in very narrow grooves. In addition, the response to dust, dirt and wear will be reduced substantially as the vertical component will not be heard. The final result will be a much more clean and noiseless reproduction of the MONO record. These effects simply cannot be achieved merely by the use of a mono switch.

    I recommend 100%!

    Yesterday I ordered speakers for my car doors, and today the parcel was already with me! Delivery was simply lightning fast, I didn't even expect such speed. The product quality is excellent, everything is neatly packed, the quality exceeded expectations. It's clear that "Autogarsas" cares about its customers and values their time.

    It's really a pleasure to buy from sellers like this, where everything goes smoothly, quickly and professionally. Highest recommendations! I will definitely come back again! 🔥👏

    Very professional work and an excellent result. They installed a sound system in a Mercedes Viano camper, and the acoustics and sound detail are now on a completely different level! It's almost on par with what I hear at home from quality speakers. The subwoofer is perfectly chosen, just right for my taste. Everything was done extremely carefully, with no extraneous noises or plastic rattling, and the wiring and integration are flawless. True professionals in their field, I recommend them.

    I upgraded the original audio system in my Alfa Romeo SUV. We started with sound insulation and front door speakers with an amplifier. We finished with an additional amplifier with DSP and professional tuning :) The result exceeded all expectations. I've been using it for a year now and don't want to get out of the car :) The work was done super PRO. When questions or options came up along the way, they discussed them with me, consulted and advised. The best investment and modification I've ever made to a car, and I don't regret a single euro. Highly recommend

    Excellent service! The "Autogarso" team quickly and professionally installed a dash cam in my car. I especially want to thank administrator Robertas for his pleasant communication, thorough consultation and attentive approach to the customer. I recommend it to everyone looking for reliable car electronics specialists.
