Description

The MC Windfeld Ti - a moving coil phono cartridge in the absolute high-end class 

Our extensive knowledge of vibration properties, characteristics in different shapes and materials, competences in magnetism, mechanical design and new technologies has been applied for optimization of the MC Windfeld model. The MC Windfeld Ti has gone to the next level by reducing unwanted vibrations and increasing the dynamic capability of the cartridge.

Those who choose to adopt the MC Windfeld Ti will experience the lifelike, dynamic and open sound, with exceedingly clear midrange. The MC Windfeld Ti remains extremely musical while paying close attention to micro dynamic details, with its delicate, but also analytical nature.

"...The experienced developer and industrial designer Helmut Thiele presents his own the zero tracking error Tonearm Thiele TA01 with the Ortofon Winfeld Ti premounted. The Ortofon Winfeld Ti proves to be a direct hit under the TA01 headshell."

"With its titanium body and excellent tracking this high-end moving coil cartridge shows its mettle...

...In a suitable system ... the PW Ti is undoubtedly a moving coil of enormous ability and refinement, with powerful bass, superb clarity and filigree treble, all knit together into a coherent whole."

Verdict: Smooth and refined sound with great depth. Very high quality all round.

"...The Windfeld Ti is a high-performance cartridge that extracts and provides a great deal of detail, but it is not at all "analytical" or mechanical sounding. It's sort of the "Dockers" of high-performance Ortofons. The cartridge has a relatively sweet, lush midrange compared to the more detail-oriented Ortofons like the A95 and especially the new Anna Diamond. The Windfeld Ti is harmonically generous, with transients that are clean but don't bite..."

"...Sonically, the Ti allows a listener to play nearly every album in his  catalog without being bothered by any sins of commission. This ability to play whatever, whenever, is one of the MC Windfeld Ti's biggest assets. If you value high neutrality and high resolution, low coloration and low distortion, and tracking ability that rivals the best moving magnets, then this outstanding new moving coil is for you..."

The MC Windfeld Ti technology

The MC Windfeld Ti phono cartridge was introduced in 2017 as a continuous tribute to Ortofon's former engineer Mr. Windfeld and optimization of the MC Windfeld model launched in 2008.

At the heart of the MC Windfeld Ti lies Selective Laser Melting technology, apllied for manufacturing of the Ortofon Exclusives Series cartridges.
The use of Titanium in the MC Windfeld Ti has provided a further improvement to the overall rigidity of the structure and the cartridge weight. Obviously, MC Windfeld Ti has gone to the next level by reducing unwanted vibrations and increasing the dynamic capability of the cartridge.

In this episode Leif Johannsen, the Ortofon's Chief Acoustics and Development, accurately compares the two MC Windfeld models with the focus on the benefits of the new technologies and materials.

The mechanical integration of the MC Windfeld Ti

Historically, Ortofon has always followed its own path with regard to the mechanical design of the cartridge housing, because mechanical rigidity and total freedom from resonance in the audible range are a precondition for optimal sound quality.

In the MC Windfeld Ti the cartridge’s contact with the tonerarm takes place through three hard, well-defined contact points placed on the fastening section of the cartridge. This means that the mechanical integration of the cartridge and the tonearm arm are always absolutely perfect. 

Flexibility and performance with a range of compatibility

With optimized weight and moderate compliance to suit the majority of modern tonearms, the MC Windfeld Ti is easy compatible with an endless array of contemporary high-end turntable equipment, including the Ortofon TA-210 and TA-110 tonearms.

A low output impedance of 7 ohm and a medium output voltage of 0.2 mV makes the Ortofon MC Windfeld Ti a perfect partner for most MC pre-amps as well as step-up transformers, including the Ortofon ST-80 SE. 

When combined with Ortofon’s world-class knowledge in analogue sound reproduction, The MC Windfeld Ti will undoubtedly provide sound which is literally unsurpassed and simply has to be experienced.

MC Windfeld Ti is available through Ortofon Authorised HiFi dealers. Our authorized dealers have comprehensive knowledge and experience in use of Ortofon products and associated equipment, offer high standard customer service and comply with Ortofon Aftersales.

Why Choose Ortofon

Ortofon is one of the most historic and widely recognised names in analogue audio, with a cartridge manufacturing heritage that stretches back to Denmark in 1918. Over more than a century, Ortofon has become one of the most influential brands in vinyl playback, producing cartridges used across home Hi-Fi, professional mastering studios, archival applications, and DJ environments worldwide.

What makes Ortofon particularly interesting is the breadth of the range and the consistency of its engineering philosophy. From accessible moving magnet models through to highly specialised reference moving coil cartridges, Ortofon products are generally known for precision, strong tracking ability, low coloration, and excellent retrieval of detail from vinyl recordings. Their cartridges often appeal to listeners seeking a clean, accurate, and highly organised presentation with strong image focus and neutrality.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Ortofon tends to appeal most to customers who already know the brand through its strong global reputation and long-standing presence within analogue audio. Models such as the 2M series and Quintet range have become extremely popular internationally due to their reliability, broad compatibility, and approachable performance across many turntable and tonearm combinations.

Signature Design and Sound

Manufactured in Denmark, Ortofon cartridges are developed using extensive in-house engineering, advanced stylus technologies, and decades of analogue research and production experience. The company remains one of the few large-scale cartridge manufacturers still deeply invested in analogue playback development at every level of the market.

Sonically, Ortofon cartridges are generally recognised for their precision, clarity, and tracking performance. The presentation often feels clean and well controlled, with strong separation, articulate bass, and excellent retrieval of fine musical information. Depending on the model range, the sound can vary from smooth and approachable through to highly revealing and reference-focused.

Compared with some more overtly romantic or tonally rich cartridge brands, many Ortofon models lean toward a more neutral and technically balanced presentation. This makes them particularly attractive for listeners wanting strong detail retrieval, system versatility, and dependable performance across a wide variety of music genres and system types.

Ortofon Product Range

The Ortofon range includes moving magnet cartridges, moving coil cartridges, replacement styli, tonearms, step-up transformers, and specialised professional audio products. Popular ranges including the 2M series, Quintet series, Cadenza range, and flagship MC cartridges cover everything from entry-level vinyl systems through to serious high-end analogue playback.

Ortofon cartridges are available in a broad variety of output levels, stylus profiles, and compliance configurations, allowing compatibility across many different tonearm and turntable designs. Their extensive product range and strong worldwide support network have helped establish Ortofon as one of the most recognisable and enduring names in analogue audio.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his analogue setup team can assist with cartridge selection, installation, tonearm matching, and phono stage optimisation to ensure customers achieve the best possible performance from their vinyl playback systems.
