The Ortofon SPU 1 E represents one of the most authentic and accessible interpretations of Moving Coil (MC) technology, remaining faithful to the classic SPU sound tradition while embracing a contemporary spirit. Ideal for reproducing a wide range of stereo recordings—from early classics to modern productions—this cartridge stands out for its exceptional balance between sonic performance and price, making it a highly appreciated choice among enthusiasts and quality vinyl connoisseurs.

The SPU 1 E version features an elliptical stylus, a design choice that allows for more accurate groove tracking compared to the conical version, delivering a wider soundstage and greater detail resolution. The cartridge body is made from a unique blend of ground wood and resin, a material that not only provides strength and vibration control but also contributes to the warm and full-bodied tonal character typical of SPU designs.

Inside, the coil is wound with high-purity copper, as are the internal leads, ensuring a transparent and faithful signal transmission that preserves the integrity of the original recording. Thanks to its universal SME connector, the SPU 1 E can be easily mounted on a wide range of tonearms, including those from the Ortofon Reference series. Paired with the Ortofon ST-7 MC transformer, it forms an ideal combination for an even more refined listening experience.

Sonically, the SPU 1 E maintains the historic identity of the SPU series: a full-bodied, powerful, and three-dimensional sound with excellent channel separation and minimal distortion. These qualities make it particularly suitable for listeners seeking a natural and immersive experience that brings out the best in both vintage and contemporary recordings.
