Ortofon SPU Classic N E - MC Element

Ortofon SPU Classic NE - MC Element

The SPU Classic NE provides the same sound reproduction properties as the SPU Classic GM E series, but is sold without the integrated headshell unit. The SPU Classic N is a Moving Coil (MC) cartridge with an elliptical stylus profile and provides more detailed sound reproduction and expansive imaging. Listeners who wish to mount the SPU Classic on a traditional headshell may do so, and those with vintage SPU-type headshells can use the Classic NE to recreate an authentic and functional SPU cartridge.
