PAST MASTERS

摘要

When Ortofon was founded 90 years ago in Denmark it was first involved in pioneering sound recording for film. In fact it wasn't until 1948 that it produced its first moving-coil cartridge. The head of its Acoustics & Technology department today is Dr Leif Johansenn. He's a nuclear engineer as well as an audio engineer and was responsible for the development of Ortofon's fabulous Windfield cartridge, produced as a as a memorial tribute to Ortofon's departing 75-year-old engineer Per Windfeld. Windfeld was behind many classic designs, like the MC 20.
