Ortofon VNL Single Pack MM Cartridge Stereo Stylus Standard Round for DJ Play and Listening VNL Included, Needle,

Introducing the new VNL Single Pack, the new standard in DJ cartridges Output voltage: 6mV Stylus type: Spherical (round needle) Cantilever material: Aluminum Suitable needle pressure: 4g Weight: 6.5g "I want a cartridge that doesn't skip needles." This has been the long-cherished wish of DJs who work with vinyl for many years. To make this dream a reality, Ortofon enlisted the help of turntablists who have won world championships in the world's top competitions, including DMC and IDA. They carefully and sincerely picked out what they wanted from a new-generation DJ cartridge and their image of it, and proceeded with development. In addition, it was designed to operate smoothly when used in a DVS environment, which has become the norm today, and to be compatible with the increasingly portable wrist environments of recent years.Furthermore, it was also designed to be versatile, being lightweight and mountable to a shell, so that it can be used with any arm. This ideal union between turntablists and Ortofon finally resulted in the birth of a dream cartridge that combines extremely clear, high-quality sound with resistance to needle skipping during hard play. The VNL, a new standard cartridge for DJs that can handle any style of playing, was released as a standard product.
