Esteemed by music aficionados and Hi-Fi enthusiasts globally, this product stands as a symbol of high-quality sound reproduction.

Designed for optimal fit, this cartridge is a perfect match for tonearms with a standard headshell or a cartridge mount. The OM 5E is equipped with a cleverly integrated, removable weight-plate in the mounting bracket, allowing for easy customization based on your tonearm type.

The standout feature of the OM 5E is its elliptical stylus, renowned for delivering balanced and distortion-free playback.
