The OM 5E inspires in all areas with its excellent suppleness and clearly fanned out, precise timbres. With its airy temperament, contoured basses and a great three-dimensionality, you feel like you are right in the middle of the music, and when the fascinating detail drawing surprises you, the price seems incredibly low, which is usually only possible with the industrial OMB versions. Due to the comfortable needle compliance of 20µm/mN the OM 5E fits to all common tonearms without any problems.
