Ortofon’s SPU moving-coil phono cartridge came to life in 1959, designed by Robert Gundmansen (a 50-year veteran of the Ortofon company) as one of the first stereo phono cartridges. SPU stands for “Stereo Phono Pickup.”. The somewhat low-compliance SPU is heavy (30 grams) and includes an integral headshell comprised of Bakelite.
