Ortofon Stylus 3E Replacement Stylus

The Ortofon Stylus 3E is the entry-level replacement stylus for the Super OM, OM, OMB and OMP series – the affordable way to bring a worn system back to its factory sound.

Why this replacement stylus?

After 500–800 hours of play, every stylus loses its edge – treble sounds duller, distortion increases. With its elliptical diamond tip, the Stylus 3E restores the original, unfussy sound character of the OM entry-level class, without replacing the whole system.

Who it's for (straight talk)

For anyone with an entry-level OM system who wants an affordable, uncomplicated stylus swap. If you're planning to upgrade anyway, take a look at the Stylus 20 or 30 instead.

Technical specifications

• Stylus tip: elliptical, r/R 8/18 µm
• Compatible with: Super OM, OM, OMB, OMP series (entry-level class)
• Mount: plug-in stylus swap, no tools needed
