Premounted SH-4 Black Headshell: The OM Q.Bert comes pre-mounted on the black SH-4 headshell for convenient installation. This practical setup makes mounting and replacement easier on compatible S-shaped tonearms.

Universal Mount: The universal mount fits a wide range of S-shaped tonearms. Therefore, DJs can install the premounted cartridge quickly on compatible turntable systems.

Ultra High Output: The cartridge delivers an ultra high 11 mV output at 1 kHz and 5 cm/sec. This provides a strong signal for suitable DJ phono equipment and scratch-focused setups.

High Tracking Ability: The OM Q.Bert achieves 90 μm tracking ability at 315 Hz. This supports reliable groove tracking during demanding scratching and back-cueing techniques.

Spherical Stylus: The spherical stylus features an 18 μm tip radius for consistent groove contact. This design supports the tracking characteristics required for active DJ performance.

Low Wear Characteristics: The OM Q.Bert features low wear characteristics for demanding vinyl use. Consequently, it provides a practical solution for DJs who regularly scratch and manipulate records.

Scratch-Focused Design: Ortofon specifically developed the OM Q.Bert for scratch performance. Its tracking and sonic characteristics support DJs who require reliable performance during demanding turntable techniques.

Recommended 3 g Tracking Force: The cartridge operates within a 2–4 g tracking force range, with 3 g recommended. This provides a clear reference point when setting up the tonearm.

Replaceable Stylus: The OM Q.Bert uses the dedicated Stylus Q.Bert as its replacement stylus. This allows DJs to replace the stylus when required and continue using the cartridge.
