Introducing the SPU GTX S and SPU GTX E Ortofon, December 2, 2024

Experience iconic sound

Ortofon proudly unveils the SPU GTX S and SPU GTX E, the latest additions to our legendary SPU line. These new cartridges bring Ortofon’s signature warmth and rich tonal depth to today’s vinyl enthusiasts with enhanced engineering and design. Both models feature a durable, glass-fiber reinforced housing and an integrated step-up transformer, crafted in collaboration with Lundahl Transformers to provide seamless compatibility with any standard phono stage.

Precision Engineering and Craftsmanship

Handcrafted by experts in Denmark, each SPU GTX cartridge is constructed with an upgraded, one-piece, glass-fiber-reinforced co-polymer housing. This stronger, more durable design provides a low-resonance, stable structure that preserves the cartridge’s tonal clarity. The SPU GTX S features a spherical diamond, while the SPU GTX E is upgraded with an elliptical diamond for enhanced detail—both designed to deliver the timeless SPU listening experience.

Built-in Step-up Transformer

The SPU GTX Series is designed to simplify your setup without compromising sound quality. When developing the GTX series, Ortofon chose to develop the new step-up transformers in collaboration with the company Lundahl Transformers. Thanks to the built-in step-up transformer, these cartridges connect directly to any phono stage or amplifier with the ease of a moving magnet cartridge – no extra equipment needed.

Explore the SPU GTX S

The so-called “Ortofon sound“ became synonymous with the sound from the SPU, at an early stage. The sound of the SPU cartridge is characterized by a rich bass and a transparent treble range plus those extra qualities, which are so hard to defi ne, but so easy to appreciate when they are realized.

Explore the SPU GTX E

The SPU GTX S and E cartridges offer the best of both worlds, combining the musicality and rich tonal character that has defined Ortofon’s SPU series for decades with the latest innovations in audio technology.
