Ortofon Factory Tour - How Turntable Phono Cartridges Are Made & NEW MC X series
Take a rare look inside the Ortofon phono cartridge factory in Nakskov, Denmark — the home of some of the world’s finest phono cartridges for turntables. In this behind-the-scenes tour, we walk through the full production process of moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, including precision coil winding, cantilever assembly, and diamond mounting — all done with meticulous attention to detail. Along the way, we dive into Ortofon’s rich 100+ year history, explore the company’s legacy of innovation in analog audio, and explain the core principles of how turntable cartridges work. Whether you’re a vinyl enthusiast, audiophile, or just curious about how music gets from groove to speaker — this video offers insight, craftsmanship, and Danish engineering at its best.
