About the OM 40

The Ortofon OM 40 is part of the renowned OM series, designed as an Optimum Match cartridge for easy integration with various tonearms. It utilizes a nude Van den Hul type II (VDH) or Fritz Gyger stylus, offering exceptional channel separation, extended frequency response, and precise tracking. As a moving magnet (MM) design, it delivers 3.5mV output with low distortion, making it ideal for audiophiles seeking high fidelity from vinyl playback. The cartridge weighs 5g and supports stylus replacement. It is no longer in active production by Ortofon, though replacement styli like Stylus 40 remain available.
