The Ortofon MF7 prides itself in having a rugged suspension created for scratching & backcueing, and rough handling. The MF7 cartridge is particularly good for electronic music and hip-hop, where there is an emphasis on energetic percussion and deep, aggressive bass. Without harshness, the lively sounding spherical stylus of the MF7 produces a slightly accentuated midrange to help scratching cut through the mix.
