Ortofon OM Q.BERT

The Ortofon OM Q.BERT is a cartridge for vinyl turntables, ideally suited for scratching and music listening, with a spherical stylus, an output voltage of 11 mV, a tracking force range of 2-4 g, a tracking angle of 20°, and a frequency range of 20-18000 Hz.

The OM Q.BERT from Ortofon is highly appreciated by DJs for its Q.Bert stylus characteristics. Along with its unsurpassed ability to stay in the groove under all conditions, the Ortofon Q.Bert ensures stable needle stability in the groove and also slightly suppresses the upper frequency levels to minimize surface noise from worn vinyl. Thanks to its exceptionally high output voltage, the needle is particularly well-suited for scratching as well as reproducing all music genres with low bass frequencies.
