Ortofon STYLUS ELECTR A

Description

Essential Information About the Ortofon Elektro DJ Cartridge

  • High output of 7.5 mV for a powerful signal and impactful club mixing.
  • Spherical diamond and stable tracking for secure back-cueing and limited record wear.
  • Designed by experienced technicians and DJs for techno and electronic music.
  • Excellent resistance to vibrations and extreme SPL levels, ideal for stage and studio.

A Club-Oriented Benchmark in the Ortofon Range

Born from Ortofon's expertise, the Elektro was developed with demanding DJs to deliver energetic and reliable playback. It ranks among the brand's DJ references, prioritizing impact, groove holding, and durability for intensive sets. Its tonal balance and strong mechanical stability make it a safe choice for electronic music.

For Whom and For What Uses

The Ortofon Elektro is aimed at club DJs, both residents and mobile, who seek a cartridge ready to withstand hours of mixing. Its stability also makes it an ally for sound engineers and studios digitizing dance vinyl. Whether in fixed installations, music bars, or events, it ensures a high output level and consistent tracking.

Features and Innovations

With a high output voltage, the Elektro drives phono inputs with headroom and reduces background noise. Its spherical diamond optimizes groove holding during cue points and back-spins, while the recommended tracking force enhances stability on turntables subject to vibrations. Channel balance and separation ensure a clear stereo image, and the standard 47 kOhm load facilitates integration with most mixers and phono preamps. Compatible with Concorde and OM bodies from the Elektro series, it easily fits into existing setups.
