Ortofon started its journey when two Danish Engineers, Arnold Poulsen and Alex Peterson, founded an Electro Phono Film company along with the financial help of several businessmen on the 9th of October 1918. The aim and vision of Ortofon was to approach the possibility of high-end recording and to invent one of the best yet, first synchronised, sound film systems worldwide.
Being one of the leading manufacturers of audio products, Ortofon produces high-quality headshells, phono cartridges, step-up transformers, durable audio cables, tonearms, and other accessories needed for cartridges or tonearms installation. Most of all, Ortofon is known for developing products related to turntables and analog sound systems.
When we talk about Moving Coil (MC) and Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges, the first name that comes to mind is Ortofon as they have a long history developing the best MM and MC cartridges from the entry level to high-end professional products.
