MC Century

In a very limited edition of 100, Ortofon released its no-expense-spared anniversary model – the MC Century. Only the year before, Leif Johannsen, Chief Acoustics and the Head of R&D, had designed an updated version of the cartridge made as a tribute to Ortofon’s chief engineer called the MC Windfeld TI. “We want all our exclusive cartridges to have a body made by Additive Manufacturing. We did not do that for the original Windfeld.

The Ti stands for Titanium because, in the latest Windfeld cartridge, the central frame which carries the cartridge is made out of titanium. We had also used that metal for the MC A95 and MC Anna. We try to reuse the good stuff. A good idea is not just confined to one cartridge, so the MC Century also has a titanium housing
made by SLM. One of the most striking things about it, which has a big impact on the sound, is its cantilever. We’ve used diamond for this. The sound is extreme! It is really high-end.”
