Founded in Denmark in 1918 by engineers Axel Petersen and Arnold Poulsen, Ortofon began its journey pioneering sound recording for cinema before becoming one of the defining names in analogue audio. In 1948, the company introduced the world’s first moving-coil phono cartridge, laying the foundations for decades of innovation in record reproduction. Its name, derived from the Greek words orto fon, meaning “correct sound”, reflects a philosophy built around precision, technical excellence and the faithful reproduction of music. Combining a century of engineering experience with continuous research into materials, acoustics and micro-mechanics, Ortofon remains dedicated to refining the connection between the record and the listener.
