MC Cadenza Mono
Cadenza (from Italian: meaning cadence) refers to a portion of a concert in which the orchestra stops playing, leaving the soloist to play alone in free time, without a strict, regular pulse.
A cadenza can be written or improvised. It’s usually the most elaborate and virtuosic part the solo instrument plays during the whole piece. At the end of the cadenza, the orchestra re-enters, and generally finishes off the movement.
MC Cadenza Mono is a true mono cartridge for playing mono microgroove vinyl records.

Accuracy level

The Cadenza Mono model is made with a Nude Fine Line stylus and a cylindrical aluminium cantilever. The stylus radius is r/R 8/40 µm.The coils are made from 6NX (99.9999 %) pure silver wire. An improved winding process on the armature allows a better channel balance. For easy use, the pins are connected so you get the same signal from both pairs of connecting pins.
Sharing internal build with the Cadenza Red and with optimized adjustments for mono playback the sound is relaxed, homogeneous, and moderate.
Push the performance
The Cadenza series
At Ortofon, we constantly look for new technology to be used in our products and push the performance of existing technology. Thus, we assure the highest level of performance and quality. The Kontrapunkt models and MC Jubilee became market standards and are among our most popular cartridges. Nevertheless, Ortofon decided to develop a new cartridge series that is even more ambitious.
Each of the five Cadenza Series cartridges has its own individual sonic expression, and all five models together represent the ensemble of five classic variations.
The MC Cadenza Black is the best of everything, true to the groove with resolution and accurate insight into each recording.
