OVERVIEW

The Ortofon OM Q.BERT Cartridge delivers ultra high output and high tracking ability for scratch and back-cueing. Its spherical stylus features an 18 μm tip radius, while 90 μm tracking ability supports demanding vinyl techniques. Additionally, low wear characteristics, a subdued high-end, and accentuated mid-range make this cartridge specifically suited to turntablists and DJs working with scratch-focused performance.

High Tracking Ability: The OM Q.BERT achieves 90 μm tracking ability at 315 Hz. This supports accurate groove tracing during demanding scratch and back-cueing techniques.

Ultra High Output: The cartridge produces an ultra high 11 mV output at 1 kHz and 5 cm/sec. This strong output suits compatible DJ phono equipment and mixing systems.

Scratch Optimised Design: Ortofon tailors the Q.BERT specifically for scratch performance. Its design supports turntablists and DJs who regularly use demanding vinyl techniques.

Spherical Stylus: The spherical stylus features an 18 μm tip radius for consistent groove tracing. This configuration supports the cartridge’s intended scratch and back-cueing applications.

Low Wear Characteristics: The Q.BERT incorporates low wear characteristics for demanding vinyl use. Consequently, DJs can rely on its design during repeated scratch and performance sessions.

Subdued High-End: The cartridge uses a more subdued high-end to help minimise surface noise. This characteristic makes it suitable for playback involving worn vinyl records.

Accentuated Mid-Range: The accentuated mid-range helps bring scratching forward within the sound presentation. Therefore, scratch techniques remain prominent during active DJ performance.

Recommended 3 g Tracking Force: The cartridge operates across a 2-4 g tracking force range. Ortofon recommends a 3 g tracking force for the specified setup.

Replaceable Stylus: The OM Q.BERT uses the Stylus Q.Bert as its replacement stylus. This provides a dedicated replacement option when the stylus requires changing.
