Ortofon O2 Characteristics
The Ortofon O-one produces balanced,
reference-grade signal output, worthy of use
in critical listening situations. The O-one,
unlike other closed-back designs, was engineered to provide a precise representation
of sound without coloration or inaccuracies. This
design offers audio professionals, musicians, and discerning listeners
a transparent window into sonic purity and is revealing of not only the
details and elements which comprise the signal but also any inadequacies or inconsistencies.
The Ortofon O2 provides strong, loud signal
output and rugged construction to easily
withstand the rigors of DJing. The high
sensitivity of Ortofon O2 allows for use with
any DJ mixer and can even compensate for
mixers no matter the quality of the headphone
amplifier. The Ortofon O2 is perfect for use with a virtually unlimited array
of equipment - including portable music players, and the inclusion of a
gold plated 3.5/6.3 mm jack adaptor ensures compatibility with virtually
any audio device.
