Ortofon MC 15 Super Mk II
The Ortofon MC 15 Super Mk II sits in the upper mid range of the Danish low output MC lineup. Its 0.34 mV output requires a dedicated MC phono input or a step up transformer. The Fine Line stylus tracks from 2.0 to 2.4 g with 2.2 g nominal. The stylus is integrated, so a worn diamond means a retip.

Additional Info
The Ortofon MC 15 Super Mk II offers refined, controlled precision. Its Fine Line profile on an aluminum cantilever pulls fine detail from the groove while keeping tracing tidy through busy passages, vocals landing natural and forward without splash. Precise imaging and quiet backgrounds let dynamics breathe over lean rather than weighty bass, suiting acoustic, jazz and vocal records. Sold in Germany as the Ortofon MC Nr.2, it uses an integrated stylus, so wear means a retip.
