Enter the Exclusive World of Ortofon’s Famous Moving Coil Sound!

The Quintet Red is a perfect introduction to the world of Ortofon moving coils. It features an Elliptical diamond which is cut and polished to Ortofon’s standards.

This entry-level MC cartridge has very high price-to-performance ratio and is a perfect all-rounder for the newcomers to the world of Moving Coil cartridges.

MC Quintet Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth.

The ST-7 transformer is a perfect match for the MC Quintet Red cartridge.

LH-4000 headshell is specially recommended for MC Quintet cartridges series.

Ease of Use

Top-mounting of the Quintet cartridges is easy and secure using the screws supplied. The aluminium frame has threaded mounting holes and is fitted easily with the 5mm or 7mm screws depending on the thickness of the headshell.

The Quintet series’ right angles, straight lines, stylus visibility and ample distance between the record surface and the cartridge’s bottom will make it easy to mount and align the cartridge and tonearm correctly. The Quintet Series gives excellent results with most common tonearms.

The Quintet Story

Nothing demonstrates Ortofon's long-standing resilience more than its commitment to the refinement of analogue sound quality and its continued development of new cartridge models. Since 1948 Ortofon has introduced about 100 different Moving Coil models. We believe the cartridges in this new series are more than worthy successors to the long line of models that has made Ortofon the global leader in the manufacture and supply of phono cartridges.

The MC Quintet Series is a Direct Result of Continued Research and Innovation

The MC Quintet Series is congruent with Ortofon’s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration:

  • A special ABS (Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene) thermoplastic material is used for manufacturing of the body. This light-weight, impact resistant material is very suitable for injection-moulding and provides a very durable scratch resistant surface.
  • Neodymium magnets are implemented to achieve an optimal output.
  • Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load and therefore ensures compatibility with the widest range of preamps and transformers.

It is the aim of Ortofon to bring their customers many hours of new and surprising experiences in listening to their precious vinyl collection.

Each of the Five Quintet Series Cartridges has its own Individual Sonic Expression, and all Five Models Together Represent the Ensemble of Five Classic Variations

  • MC Quintet Mono is a true mono cartridge for playing mono microgroove vinyl records
  • MC Quintet Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth
  • MC Quintet Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more details
  • MC Quintet Bronze adds even more details and resolution but in a very even-handed way that pays respect to all elements
  • MC Quintet Black S is the best of everything, true to the groove with resolution and accurate insight into each recording

Subtle smell, works well to pick up dirt!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Has a nice, light smell when added to the Eufy C20 water. Smell is short-lasting and very subtle, so no irritation to the animals in the house. Easy to use, a small amount is recommended, and I find it works well. Very good value for long-lasting use. 1 cap/water refill, and the water is much nastier than it was when using just water. Very pleased with this purchase.

Easy cleaning and pleasant scent.
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
It works very well with the robot vacuum cleaner. It cleans the floor without damaging it, leaves no residue or marks, and leaves a soft, pleasant scent. It lasts a long time and doesn't cause any problems for the device. A very good product; I would definitely buy it again.

So Worth the Purchase !!!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I was a little hesitant to buy this since it’s a bit pricey for a floor-cleaning liquid. Still, I decided to give it a shot because the floor in my new apartment smelled stinky due to the pet urine from the previous tenant. It turned out to be totally worth the investment! The floor gets much cleaner with this product—the dirty water tank ends up way dirtier than usual—and the Eufy mop pads no longer smell bad like they used to without this liquid. Also, just a little goes a long way. I fill the tank to the max with water and add about 15ml of this liquid. The instructions say to dilute 10ml in 2 liters of water, and my tank holds about 2.5 liters. So with one bottle, I can refill the tank around 31 times—which is a lot! Since it needs to be heavily diluted, I don’t notice much of the scent after mopping. I do wish it had a stronger fragrance, but it gets the job done, so I’m very satisfied!

Works good but doesn’t make the house smell nice
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
This works good in our robot vac/mop however it doesn’t make the house smell good when the house is mopped, just when you put it in the water tank. The floors are clean and that’s all I really care about but would it be nice to smell freshly mopped, yes.

I love this products. I wish they have other scent for the different season. Overall, this is worth it. I love my vacuum and this product. My floors are always clean and smells great.
