A phono solution designed for vinyl turntables in a DJ environment
This phono cartridge belongs to the DJ-oriented cartridge category, where priority is given to robustness, output level, and playback stability. Its pre-mounted format simplifies installation and saves time during set preparations or configuration changes.
Who is this phono cartridge for?
Ideal for beginner to advanced DJs looking for a reliable cartridge for mixing, home practice, studio work, or mobile performances. The spherical profile and recommended tracking force promote consistent playback, useful when handling is frequent.
Features and innovations
With an output voltage of 6 mV at 1 kHz, this cartridge delivers a well-present signal. It covers a frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with a specified tolerance of -2 / +4 dB, and offers channel separation of 20 dB at 1 kHz. The recommended load parameters (47 kOhm) facilitate pairing with most phono preamps and DJ mixer phono inputs.
