Product Descriptions
The Ortofon Xpression High-End cartridge is a state of the art product, representing a combination of three elements very characteristic for Ortofon:
- The cutting edge SLM materials technology pioneered by the MC A90 and SPU 90th Anniversary
- Modification of the generator system introduced with the MC A90 and the MC Windfeld
- Ortofon design tradition
Utilizing these three elements we created a new product in order to support our customers of the SPU cartridges and Ortofon tonearms. Since the cartridge length is identical to that of an SPU, the Xpression can easily be fitted onto tonearms without additional concern for proper alignment. The cartridge height is likewise identical to the SPU height, which makes further VTA adjustments unnecessary. The length of the cartridge ensures proper match with the SME-mount type tonearms, e.g. SME, Grace, Fidelity Research, SAEC and Micro Seiki brands. Additionally, the mass and compliance properties of the Xpression ensure that a proper match will be achieved with any SPU-compatible arm.

“…The Ortofon Xpression is a unique blend of the new and the old…This new Ortofon is designed and built as a drop-in replacement for any G-style pickup head…
…The Xpression proved itself to be much more explicit than my original SPU – more detailed, more open, more tactile, more revealing of nuance and technique…Delighted I am to see and hear such a product…the Xpression brings with it a certain disregard for convention and for the staid logic of commerce – not unlike the best music…”
