Product of the Year Award 2018 – The Absolute Sound
"High Neutrality and High Resolution, Low Coloration and Low Distortion"
Continuing Ortofon's innovative design tradition, the company is proud to introduce the MC Windfeld Ti, a new moving coil phono cartridge in the absolute high-end class.
At the heart of the MC Windfeld Ti lies a revolutionary customized Selective Laser Melting manufacturing technology pioneered by Ortofon for manufacturing of the legendary MC A90 in 2008. The use of Titanium in the MC Windfeld Ti has provided a further improvement to the overall rigidity of the structure and the cartridge weight.
The Absolute Sound honored the MC Windfield Ti with a Product of the Year Award 2018. According to the magazine, "Sonically, the Ti allows a listener to play nearly every album in his catalog without being bothered by any sins of commission. This ability to play whatever, whenever, is one of the MC Windfeld Ti's biggest assets. If you value high neutrality and high resolution, low coloration and low distortion, and tracking ability that rivals the best moving magnets, then this outstanding new moving coil is for you."
"Wide, Deep, Stable Soundstages"
No one will be disappointed by the Windfeld Ti's reproduction of space: if they were on the recording, this cartridge delivered solid, three-dimensional images on wide, deep, stable soundstages," notes Michael Fremer, Stereophile, August 2017. "With a VTF of 2.3 gm, the Windfeld Ti tracked well everything I threw at it, especially sibilants."
Achieves the Next Level of Performance
Ortofon's extensive knowledge of vibration properties, characteristics in different shapes and materials, competences in magnetism, mechanical design, and new technologies all optimize the MC Windfeld, which achieves the next level of performance with reduced vibrations and increased capability.
Those who choose to adopt the MC Windfeld Ti will experience the lifelike, dynamic and open sound, with exceedingly clear midrange. The MC Windfeld Ti remains extremely musical while paying close attention to micro dynamic details, with its delicate, but also analytical nature.
Perfect Mechanical Integration
Historically, Ortofon has always followed its own path with regard to the mechanical design of the cartridge housing, because mechanical rigidity and total freedom from resonance in the audible range are a precondition for optimal sound quality.
In the MC Windfeld Ti, the cartridge’s contact with the tonerarm takes place through three hard, well-defined contact points placed on the fastening section of the cartridge. This means that the mechanical integration of the cartridge and the tonearm arm are always absolutely perfect.
Compatibility and Flexible Performance
With optimized weight and moderate compliance to suit the majority of modern tonearms, the MC Windfeld Ti is easy compatible with a wide range high-end turntable equipment.
A low output impedance of 7 ohm and a medium output voltage of 0.2 mV makes the Ortofon MC Windfeld Ti a perfect partner for most MC pre-amps as well as step-up transformers.
When combined with Ortofon’s world-class knowledge in analog sound reproduction, The MC Windfeld Ti will provide unsurpassed sound which simply has to be experienced.
