B&O Replacement Cartridge Models

Most B&O cartridges do not have "user replaceable styli". These are advanced performance cartridge designs that you simply unplug and replace the complete cartridge itself. Below are replacements for the original B&O MMC1 / MMC2 / MMC3 / MMC4 / MMC5 / and MMC20 series cartridges - which are all interchangeable WITHIN EACH of the two groups.

This page lists B&O Turntable compatible phono cartridges ONLY. For all other turntables we have a wide range of solutions ~ Please see the drop-down menus on top of the page for all our cartridges, audio products and services.

You have come to the best place for a solution. We are the only manufacturer of these cartridges, and we are authorized to do so under license by Bang and Olufsen. They are fully warrantied against  manufacturing defect for two full years. Want to upgrade your cartridge and performance?  Easily done. The B&O plug-in replacement cartridge design allows use of an interchangeable and wide range of cartridge models and performance for each turntable model - within each of the two groups below. (Group 1 = SMMC1, SMMC2, SMMC3, SMMC4 and The Voice; Group 2 = SMMC20V, SMMC20E, SMMC20EN, SMMC20CL and SMMC20CL+)

PLEASE NOTE; CLICK THIS to use our model lookup chart to see which cartridge design group your turntable needs. Cartridges purchased and opened (broken seal) cannot be returned for refund.  Units that have NOT been opened, may be returned for refund within 2 weeks MINUS a 15% testing/repackaging/restocking fee. No - we do not make them and sell them so you can "test" you turntable.

PLEASE BE AWARE - IF YOU ORDER FROM OUTSIDE THE USA, MOST COUNTRIES CHARGE "VAT" - OR IMPORT DUTY, WHICH WE DO NOT CONTROL. IT VARIES FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY.

They Said What?

I played this album a few times on my system before adding the Zephyr MK III ES. I found it far superior to the CDs I'd listened to, with excellent tone on Miles' trumpet and a deep and wide soundstage. But when I listened to it the first time with the Zephyr MK III ES, it was another level of cool. Right off the bat, the surface noise was down, significantly. Secondly, the soundstage was deeper and wider than I have ever heard on my system before. James Cobb's snare had more snap and his high hat took on more air. Song after song, I was completely engaged in the music.
