The Ortofon SPU Meister Silver G MKII Cartridge stands as a testament to the seamless blend of heritage and technological advancement in the world of audio fidelity. This product, designed as a tribute to Mr. Gudmandsen’s remarkable fifty years of service at Ortofon, encapsulates the company’s dedication to excellence in sound reproduction.

At the heart of the SPU Meister Silver G MKII’s innovation lies the upgraded coil winding material, stylus, and magnet. These enhancements are pivotal in refining the audio experience, capturing every subtlety and nuance of sound with extraordinary clarity. The cartridge’s use of high-purity 6-nines Silver wire, with a staggering 99.9999% purity, is a standout feature. This exceptional material ensures an open and revealing high-end presentation, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in a detailed and expansive sonic landscape.

The cartridge’s stylus tip has been meticulously designed, achieving a more than 50% reduction in tip mass. This significant decrease enhances the cartridge’s tracking ability and facilitates the reproduction of microdynamic details. Such precision ensures that even the most delicate sounds are reproduced with clarity and depth.

Further augmenting its performance, the SPU Meister Silver G MKII features a revised generator system. This system is engineered to produce a slightly higher output, ensuring compatibility with a wider range of moving coil transformers and active MC preamplifiers. This versatility makes the cartridge adaptable to various audio setups, enhancing its appeal to a broad spectrum of audio enthusiasts.

The SPU Meister is not just a product but a celebration of Mr. Gudmandsen’s legacy. Known as Mr. SPU in Japan for his foundational and innovative work in mono moving coil and later stereo cartridges, Mr. Gudmandsen’s contributions have been recognized worldwide, earning him accolades, including an honor from Danish Queen Margrethe II. In recognition of his half-century milestone at Ortofon, the company introduced the SPU Meister cartridge, featuring his signature on both A and G models, symbolizing the fusion of tradition and innovation.

The cartridge’s presentation is as thoughtful as its design. Encased in a wooden box crafted from noble trees, it serves as a dedication from Mr. Gudmandsen to the cartridge’s owner, adding a personal touch to the already exceptional product. Technically, the cartridge saw a significant output increase of about 75%, attributed to the introduction of the Neodymium magnetic circuit. Moreover, the use of very pure 7-Nines copper for the armature windings further enhances the cartridge’s audio fidelity, ensuring that it delivers a sound quality that is both pure and precise.
