The world's oldest and most experienced cartridge manufacturer, Ortofon was founded in 1918 by two Danish engineers, Axel Petersen and Arnold Poulsen. The first moving coil cutterhead was produced as early as 1945, and the moving coil principle was then further developed to enable production of mono cartridges and later, stereo cartridges.
With a range that now spans entry-level Hi-Fi through to audiophile products and a superb range of DJ and professional cartridges, Ortofon are without doubt the world’s largest and most dedicated manufacturer of analogue reproduction systems.
