OM Cartridges OM stands for Overhead Mounting, so these cartridges are designed to be mounted into a headshell on the end of a tonearm. They are a standard 1/2" mount, which means the screw holes are positioned 1/2" apart. Overhead Mounting has some benefits and some drawbacks over Concordes. On the plus side, you can modify your cartridge alignment more personally - angling the cartridge to your preferred tracking position - but they also require a little more time to set-up (particularly the first time), as they are not designed to be completely plug and play. After the initial set-up, the cartridges do become portable as you can transport them in a headshell.

Ortofon is the world leader in the cartridge industry

Ortofon has always been a leading company in the field of sound reproduction. Founded in Copenhagen in 1918, Ortofon started by creating technology which served as the basis for adding a soundtrack to the silent movies of the early 1920s. In 1948, the company developed the first moving coil cartridge, and since then Ortofon has developed and manufactured more than 300 different cartridges.

In 1979 the famous Concorde design was introduced, earning the company a Danish Industrial Design Award for its Low Mass Concorde integrated cartridge/headshell configuration.

In the mid of 1980-ies Ortofon began to develop and manufacture DJ cartridges for Club, Hip-hop and Scratch application.

Ortofon is involved in local sponsorships in cooperation with local Ortofon partners, sponsorships of DJ schools and DJs.

Today Ortofon is the world leader in cartridges, both HiFi and DJ

This is the result of combining design with technology and the highest level of engineering in the audio industry. Acoustics, materials technology and micro mechanics are key competences in Ortofon´s technological prowess.
