Ortofon Vivo Blue

Ortofon Vivo Blue Moving Coil Cartridge

Standard low-output general purpose Moving Coil cartridge.

Special 7-nines (99.9999% pure) copper wire manufactured in Japan. Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load and therefore ensures compatibility with the widest range of preamps and transformers. 

A special newly developed polycarbonate based resin, Lexan DMX, in Piano Black is used for manufacturing of the body.

This revolutionary material improves rigidity and damping properties and also has a very durable scratch resistant surface. Rigidity is an important performance character as the plastic body serves as basis for the generato.
