Cadenza, derived from the Italian word "cadence," designates a segment within a musical performance, typically a concert, where the orchestra ceases its play, allowing the soloist to perform independently, unrestrained by a strict rhythmic pattern. This solo passage, known to as a cadenza typically showcases the most ornate and virtuosic passage performed by the solo instrument throughout the composition. As the cadenza concludes, the orchestra resumes its presence, often bringing the movement to its culmination. MC Cadenza Bronze adds even more details and resolution but in a very evenhanded way that pays respect to all elements.

Accuracy Level
The Cadenza Bronze is a true high-end reference cartridge, delivering music with exceptional precision, impact, and dynamics. It features a Replicant 100 stylus with a conical aluminum cantilever. Its coil wire is Ortofon’s Aucurum wire, made from gold-plated 6NX copper. A Field Stabilizing Element (FSE) helps maintain optimal linearity, especially during complex crescendo passages. The Cadenza Bronze also delivers expansive three-dimensional stereo imaging, revealing even the farthest reaches of the soundstage.
The Cadenza Series
Ortofon continually develops new technologies while refining existing designs to achieve high levels of performance and quality. Building on the success of the Kontrapunkt models and MC Jubilee, Ortofon created the more ambitious Cadenza Series. Each of the five Cadenza cartridges has its own distinct sonic character, together representing five unique variations within the series. The MC Cadenza Bronze adds greater detail and resolution while maintaining an evenhanded presentation that gives equal attention to every musical element.
