Key Information About the Black Elliptical Diamond
- Elliptical shape for more precise reading of groove details and better definition.
- Stable tracking thanks to a recommended tracking force of 1.75 g, ideal for limiting distortion.
- Frequency response from 20 to 18,000 Hz for a balanced output, suitable for listening and mixing.
- Usage compatibility designed for vinyl turntables in DJ or hi-fi contexts, with a tracking force range of 1.5 to 2.0 g.
A Stylus Focused on Precision, at the Heart of Your Vinyl Setup
This elliptical diamond follows the logic of tips designed to improve reading finesse compared to a conical profile, with a more "precise" contact on the groove walls. It aims for a relevant compromise between definition, tracking, and record preservation, within a carefully configured vinyl turntable setup.
For Whom and In What Uses?
This stylus is suitable for DJs and vinyl enthusiasts seeking detailed playback and good tracking stability, whether in the studio, at home, or in a fixed installation. The stated tracking force range allows adjustment of behavior according to the tonearm and cartridge, while staying within consistent values for controlled playback.
Features and Innovations
The elliptical profile and stylus tip radius r/R 8/18 µm promote better reproduction of transients and nuances, while maintaining a high tracking capability (315 Hz) with the recommended tracking force. The lateral dynamic compliance of 20 µm/mN contributes to smooth tracking, and the 20-degree tracking angle fits within standard vinyl playback settings. Finish: black stylus.
