Ortofon Quintet Wiring and Pinout

This wiring diagram is for the Ortofon MC Quintet series of cartridges, which installs into a headshell with two screws. Install the stylus guard first before installing the wires. When connecting the wires to the headshell, always use the correct colour code and adhere to the best practices the documentation provides. The MC Q Mono has a strapped output that delivers the same signal to both channels. This enables you to enjoy monophonic music without having to install special jumpers, or electronic equipment. This wiring and pinout diagram applies to the following models in the Quintet series:

  • Mono
  • Red (MC Q 5)
  • Blue (MC Q 10)
  • Bronze (MC Q 20)
  • Black (MC Q 30)
