We apply new technologies that are specifically product related

Acoustics, materials, technology and micro-mechanics are key competences in the technological process of Ortofon.
Reflecting our extensive experience in industrial design and technological know-how, we have become the global leader in the manufacture and supply of phono cartridges. The first moving coil phono cartridge was developed in 1948, since then more than 300 different phono cartridges have been developed and manufactured with our latest being MC Anna Diamond Exclusive phono cartridge.
We benefit from being established in Denmark, a country recognized for its strong tradition in acoustics and its wealth of other high-end manufacturers, who make hearing aids and acoustic measurement equipment, in addition to all aspects of high-end audio.
Ortofon has been awarded numerous distinctions for both sound quality and design throughout its extensive history.
