The VNL cartridge boasts an array of features and enhancements. Equipped with a spherical stylus, the VNL cartridge excels in handling tough grooves, rendering it ideal for intensive use. Furthermore, its design minimizes record wear during scratching and back-cueing. The VNL cartridge ensures high tracking performance, catering to DVS and traditional vinyl setups. This performance is complemented by a harmonious balance between output strength and sound quality.

Exceptional compatibility

Compatibility

The VNL offers exceptional compatibility across various playback systems, guaranteeing stability within the groove even under the most challenging conditions. The cartridge body is meticulously designed to facilitate effortless mounting and alignment on various headshells. The VNL is available in two distinct product configurations: the VNL and VNL Premounted. The VNL Premounted is equipped with our renowned black SH-4 Headshell.

Rubber suspension

To align with the diverse demands of contemporary DJs, the VNL cartridge offers interchangeability with three distinct styli, each equipped with suspension types of varying feel and rigidity:
