Its rigid body minimizes resonance, ensuring clear sound reproduction. The cartridge’s modular design allows easy stylus upgrades, making it a versatile choice for professional DJs seeking superior audio fidelity and durability. ## Description Product description Super OM 5E The Super OM 5E features improved lineraty, higher channel seperation, and an Elliptical stylus that provides balanced and distortion-free playback. The Elliptical diamonds are able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds due to their contoured shape. This results in better tracking and less distortion. Optimal fit and sound reproduction If your tonearm has a standard headshell or a cartridge mount, then step up to optimal sound reproduction with OMs. A glance at any of these cartridges will reveal Ortofon's answer to perfect tonearm matching. Ingeniously tucked into the top of the mounting bracket is a tiny, removable weight plate. If your tonearm is a standard tonearm, just leave the weight plate. If your tonearm is one of the low-mass types, then simply remove the weight. The mass of your OM cartridge is now a mere 2.5g. Styli types and interchangeability In the development of OM cartridges, a major objective was to provide the music lover with the opportunity to optimize sound reproduction without having to replace the entire cartridge. Instead of being merely intended for replacement purposes following wear or damage, the OM 5 Series allows you to step up to better sound by simply upgrading the stylus. Review: Sound quality on a budget! - I have a Pioneer PLX-500 turntable as my home Hi-Fi music player. I got it because it's a durable, functional product that has VERY good sound quality. And I've had it for quite some time now. A friend asked me about how old the stylus was and I said it was the factory stylus. He told me that it's recommended to replace the stylus every 150-200 hours of use. For me, that number was long past. I always thought turntable needles were expensive and hard to replace. Having some mechanical knowledge, I figured I was slightly smarter than the average bear. My friend recommended Ortofon, a name I was not unfamiliar with. I had told my friend that there are so many choices, and I was overwhelmed by what to buy - price vs. quality vs. value, etc. Being a professional DJ (not a wedding DJ, a performance venue DJ), and having an extensive vinyl collection at home, my friend recommended Ortofon because of the quality their styli at every price point they offer. He told me he'd played with just about every one they offer and although their much higher-end styli are worth every penny, he told me I could get very close to that level for a fraction of the price. He recommended this Super OM 5E because it hit all the right points for my needs: Sound Quality, Durability and Longevity, Affordability. After receiving the stylus, I was still a bit apprehensive installing it myself. It would be the first time I've ever tackled a delicate job like this. And I was concerned about making sure the stylus was properly aligned and all that - as I don't have the templates for this. I saw where my factory stylus was aligned, removed it from the tonearm, and gently reconnected all four wires to their new, respective home on the Ortofon. I did my best recalling where the original stylus was aligned (distance from the tip of the tonearm head to the actual diamond needle), adjusted for height and weight, and made it secure with the two head screws that came with the tonearm. I was already accustomed to hearing vinyl on my original stylus, so I put on a favorite album, one which I was VERY familiar with - every sound, every nuance, every tone - and was blown away at how much clearer and fuller the sound was using the new Ortofon. I figured there were better styli available, but had no idea one could achieve THIS level of sound quality at this price point. The distortions I thought were just part of my old vinyls were, in fact, a result of the old stylus coming to the end of its life cycle. With the Ortofon, the distortions disappeared completely... COMPLETELY... (yes, I was super surprised hearing these tunes in such detail and fullness). THIS is what a vinyl experience should be like. Very musical stylus. Would I buy this Ortofon again to replace mine when it gets old? Very likely. Although my curiosity is now piqued to try other brands and models, I've come to understand and respect just how important it is to have a quality stylus that's in excellent working order. And this Ortofon Super OM 5E has done my Hi-Fi rig justice. Review: Perfect for light tonearms - I have this on a rather inexpensive turntable with a light tone arm and it performs exceptionally. Full, articulated bass, no real colouring to the mids with smooth detailed highs. I’m going to order a second for my fathers old Dual turntable as it also has a low mass tonearm and should work well as a modern upgrade/ replacement for it. ## Features - The Ortofon Super OM 5 E cell is the sophisticated advancement of the OM 5 E - Improved frequency range and linearity - Increased channel separation and distortion reduction - Body material ensures high rigidity and absence of resonances - By simply replacing the diamond, the OM Super 5 E can be converted to Super 20, Super 30 or Super 40 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07SYK5DKJ | | Additional Features | Split-Pole Pin Technology | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,983 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #100 in DJ Turntable Cartridges | | Brand | Ortofon | | Built-In Media | Ortofon Super OM-5e Cartridge | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 150 Reviews | | Cycles | DC Motor | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Included Components | Ortofon Super OM-5e Cartridge | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 1.08"L x 0.63"W x 0.71"H | | Item Weight | 5 Grams | | Manufacturer | Ortofon | | Material | Plastic | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 45 RPM | | Mfr Part Number | 0130541 | | Model Name | SUPER OM 5E | | Model Number | SUPER OM 5E | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Signal Format | Analog | | Special Feature | Split-Pole Pin Technology | | Style Name | Modern | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2-Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ortofon - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth - **Included Components:** Removable weight-plate - **Special Feature:** Elliptical Stylus, Removable Weight-Plate - **Material:** Plastic - **Item Weight:** 5 Grams - **Style:** Modern - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Motor Type:** DC Motor ## Images ![Super OM-5e Moving Magnet DJ Cartridge - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617LHtMR9NL.jpg) ![Super OM-5e Moving Magnet DJ Cartridge - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614LN8cVtiL.jpg) ![Super OM-5e Moving Magnet DJ Cartridge - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51msO3wVhEL.jpg) ![Super OM-5e Moving Magnet DJ Cartridge - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JOs6Rp3VL.jpg) ![Super OM-5e Moving Magnet DJ Cartridge - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Eh8yYKqbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sound quality on a budget! *by J***2 on June 29, 2024* I have a Pioneer PLX-500 turntable as my home Hi-Fi music player.

I’m going to order a second for my fathers old Dual turntable as it also has a low mass tonearm and should work well as a modern upgrade/ replacement for it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ortofon Super OM 5E *by E***A on September 11, 2025* By finding so many Chinese copies, one does not know if what one buys even on Amazon is genuine, I toke my risk... As for this cartridge and stylus, I think that compared to the Audio Technica 36001 MnS, there is not much difference, the bass is slightly more tone, the medium and high frequencies are somewhat better... As for the mounting on the headshell, since its slots are open, it is more difficult to adjust them one by one, without them being released ... the weight is good, and the precision of the needle by the groove, apparently improving, currently I think this is the one of best stylus...... .......the stylus came out within about 1 months and a couple weeks of use....Disappointed! ## Frequently Bought Together - Ortofon Super OM 5e Moving Magnet DJ Cartridge - Hudson Hi-Fi Turntable Phonograph LP Phono Cartridge Stylus Alignment Protractor Tool–High Contrast (VTA Sold Separately) - Neoteck Digital Turntable Stylus Force Scale Gauge 0.01g/5.00g Blue LCD Backlight for Tonearm Phono Cartridge --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/481099071-super-om-5e-moving-magnet-dj-cartridge](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/481099071-super-om-5e-moving-magnet-dj-cartridge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
