Key Features

  • The series is the lowest-mass range of moving magnet cartridges offered by Ortofon.
  • The OM cartridges bodies have been designed to provide easy mounting and alignment on both top mount and bottom mount headshells.
  • The OM 5 Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.

 

For more than 50 years, Ortofon has been designing and manufacturing Moving Magnet cartridges. Along with their well-regarded Moving Coil cartridges, Moving Magnet models have established a good reputation among music lovers and Hi-Fi enthusiasts the world over.

The new Ortofon OM 5 series encompasses three basic cartridges: OM 5S, OM 5E and Super OM 5E.

The Super OM 5E Major Improvements

  1. By means of computer simulations it has been possible to define the natural pivot point of the system with unprecedented accuracy while achieving an optimum oscillation balance. The result: improved linearity, higher channel separation and reduced distortion.
  2. OM Super cartridges models have split pole pins which reduces magnetic losses at the treble end. This technology extends the frequency range and improves phase linearity.
  3. OM Super 5 cartridge body is manufactured from a Noryl (plastic & glass compound) which ensures high rigidity and freedom from resonances.

Optimal Fit and Sound Reproduction

If your tonearm has a standard headshell or a cartridge mount, then step up to optimal sound reproduction with OM’s. A glance at anyone of these cartridges will reveal Ortofon's answer to perfect tonearm matching. Ingeniously tucked into the top of the mounting bracket is a tiny, removable weight-plate.

If your tonearm is an standard tonearm, just leave the weight-plate. If your tonearm is one of the low mass types, then simply remove the weight. The mass of your OM cartridge is now a mere 2.5g.

Super OM 5E features an Elliptical stylus that provides balanced and distortion-free playback. Elliptical diamonds are able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds due to their contoured shape. This results in better tracking and less distortion.

Styli Types and Interchangeability

By adopting a wide range of replacement styli, the OM 5 Series can provide an optimum match for your home system, application and budget.

In the development of OM cartridges, a major objective was to provide the music lover with the opportunity to optimize sound reproduction without having to replace the entire cartridge. Instead of being merely intended for replacement purposes following wear or damage, the OM 5 Series allows you to step up to better sound by simply upgrading the stylus. Depending on your preference, styli for the OM 5 Series are easily interchanged and include: styli 3E, 5E, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 78 and D 25 M.

I (still) like it
Color: B Black
Looks solid, considering it is lightweight plastic. Very large. I have a large wrist and still I needed to remove 3 links. Link removal took a while to figure out. Needed the video (QR code in box), a bright light and magnifying glasses (to see the inside arrows and tiny pins). It seems to keep good time, though the hands are slightly off -- for example, at 3 o'clock, the hour hand is a bit after 3, not right on 3. At 6:15, it seems it will be 7 very soon. Maybe it will make me early for a change LOL. Mostly I just really need a watch to tell the time, without having to pull out my phone. This does the job, with a bit of style and a touch of irony. Update, after 5 months of daily use: The watch still looks good and the timepiece still functions. Sadly, a small piece of plastic broke off the watch band, where the pin connects, so the band will not stay together. It is a larger piece of the band, near the dial, so there are not extra links of that size to repair it. There does not appear to be a warranty. Up to this point, I have received several compliments on the watch. I agree that the contrast is rather eye-catching. I may buy a second one and use the first watch for parts.

Cheap dial
Color: E Gold Black
As a whole it's a quartz plastic watch for under $20...I'm disappointed in the poor looking dial quality. The case seems fine for a plastic watch, it's no Swatch but not a bad case. Shame the dial looks so cheap, it may have passed at a glance as a nice watch otherwise.

NOT WORTH IT
Color: E All Black
Not worth the money in my opinion. Very light weight. Almost like wearing a child's watch. Cheaply made.
