Ortofon MC X10 cartridge

More than a century of accuracy in sound On the 9th of October 1918, the two Danish engineers, Axel Petersen (1887-1971) and Arnold Poulsen (1889-1952) founded the Electrical Phono Film Company. Their aim was to explore the possibility of high-class recording and developing one of the first synchronized sound film systems in the world. Today, Ortofon is a micro-mechanical powerhouse, which develops, manufactures and markets the world acclaimed Ortofon phono cartridges. We benefit from being established in Denmark, a country recognized for its strong tradition in acoustics and acoustic measurement equipment, in addition to all aspects of high-end audio. Acoustics, materials, technology and micro mechanics are key competences in Ortofon's technological prowess. Research and development is done with the company's own engineers supported by a strong network of acoustic know-how and industrial design in Denmark. The products are sold worldwide through a network of more than 60 importers and Sales subsidiaries in the USA and in Japan.
