★Loud, clear, and powerful. Output 10mV VNL★ Ortofon's "no skip" stylus, the VNL, is a unique DJ cartridge that allows you to choose the feel you want when playing with three different styli (replacement styli). This is a pre-mounted on the lightweight SH-2 headshell, making it a pre-mounted on SH-2 model that can be used immediately after opening the box. ■Features of VNL TRIX Premounted on SH-2 TRIX features a white fluorescent stylus and uses a DJ-spec, high-rigidity aluminum cantilever and round needle stylus tip. This makes it robust enough to withstand the intense scratching and back-cueing that battle DJs often do, while maintaining stable groove tracking.The VNL TRIX is a shell-mountable DJ cartridge with a character similar to the all-in-one Concorde MkII Scratch. ■Powerful, clear sound supported by a large 10mV output. The higher the cartridge's output voltage, the louder and more powerful it becomes. However, if you force too much power in the pursuit of volume alone, the balance of the reproduced sound will be disrupted and it may cause distortion. Drawing on its many years of expertise, Ortfon has developed a generator engine (magnetic circuit) that can produce clear, clear sound without saturating the reproduced sound, while also producing a powerful, loud sound. ■ The stylus (replacement needle) is fluorescent for enhanced visibility The VNL TRIX/DANCE cartridges feature a fluorescent stylus (replacement needle) at the tip. This makes it easier to see the stylus on the record, even in dark locations. The TRIX cartridge is fluorescent white, while the DANCE cartridge is fluorescent yellow, to prevent confusion. ■ TRIX/DANCE common body with stylus compatibility The TRIX and DANCE bodies, boasting a high output of 10mV, were newly developed to suit these two models. This means that the bodies are the same for both, and you can enjoy playing by swapping the stylus (replacement needle). The white stylus tip is suitable for battle scenes where TRIX is appropriate, and the yellow for scenes where DANCE performance is desired. The weight and stylus pressure are the same, so the strength of the VNL series is that you can instantly change the character just by swapping the stylus.
