Product details

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.

  • PositiveGutes Upgrade
  • PositiveErsatz für alte Low-Mass-Systeme
  • PositiveAuch an modernen Armen ausgewogener, sauberer Klang
  • NegativeIm Tiefton eher weicher Klang

An einem passenden Arm klingt der OM 5E kaum schlechter als sein technischer Nachfahre 2M Red. Er erfordert ein gewisses Minimum an Rauscharmut am Phono-Eingang, das man in HiFi-Anlagen aber voraussetzen darf. Auf Vintage- und modernen Einsteigerspielern sorgt er dann für taufrischen, ausgewogenen Klang.
