Collection: Otta MC Phono Cartridges
OTTA is the result of two music lover’s lifetime quest for the full expression of what they know is possible in music replay: the moments when the equipment disappears and only the music remains. OTTA stands for “Over The Top Analogue”.
Out of one singular obsession, to close the distance between the performer’s intention and the listener’s heart, and one belief system, that the highest purpose of reproduction of music is in components that are composed and not assembled, dedicated to the highest purpose, which is to transfer passion and emotion from the performer and the listener, two lifelong music friends, Philip O’Hanlon and Eckard Derks, started OTTA at the point of contact where the physical grooves of a vinyl record is converted into electrical signals with precision – the cartridges.
OTTA marries 21st-century innovation with a century of accumulated understanding, combining scientific precision with artisanal craft. The result is something that cannot be measured on a spec sheet. It is a three-dimensional soundstage that envelops you, a silence between the notes that breathes, a midrange so right that even the most jaded ear finds itself suddenly, helplessly, moved. OTTA sets out to transform your listening room into a sanctuary of peace and contentment, delivering fresh insight into music reproduction. OTTA’s beautiful and innovative musical instruments are crafted for the discerning connoisseur.
