Is the Bang and Olufsen cartridge compatible with the MMC4?

This will make the cartridge compatible to MMC4 (or better). The MMC2 and MMC1 use ruby cantilever and a different diamond tip that we can not get at present time. That means those cartridges still can be fixed, however they will sound like a MMC4 with a better midrange and they should be treated like a MMC4 when you adjust your tone arm.

When did Bang and Olufsen start the cartridge repair program?

Back in 2009 we launched the B&O cartridge repair program and today we rebuild these cartridges for our Bang & olufsen enthusiast customers all over the world. Ever since we have perfected the cartridge rebuild procedure and our new cantilever/diamond tips exceeds the quality of the original MMC4 cartridges.

Why does my Bang and Olufsen voice cartridge not work?

A broken tip causes the tone arm not to track and the tone arm will skate inward on the record. A loose suspension causes distortion and one channel sounding different from the other channel. What we can not fix is when a channel is out. That means the voice coil is open and at that point we may have a replacement cartridge for you.

What kind of MMC4 cartridge do I need for Bang and Olufsen?

The MMC 4 was the most popular model in this range. It gave good performance and was fitted in the factory to most of the smaller turntables and mid-range music centres.
