Skilled DJs demand specialized tools that can help them push their creativity to the edge – consistently testing the boundaries in the realm of performance. Understanding this and reflecting Ortofon's extensive experience in industrial design and technological know-how, we present the new Ortofon VNL cartridge – a model tailored uniquely to the unrelenting demands of modern turntablists and portablists.

Features and improvements:

• Extra resistance to hardcore scratching and back spinning
• High tracking performance for both DVS usage and real vinyl
• Optimal balance of output and of sound quality
• Ultrasonic welding of the components ensures high rigidity and freedom from resonances.
• Robotic assembly of stylus assembly offers high precision and uniformity of industrial production.

VNL Styli:

To match the multiple applications of modern DJs the VNL can be equipped with 3 different styli with suspension types of varying feel and rigidity:

• Stylus VNL I compliance, dynamic lateral 16 μm/m N - Flexible
• Stylus VNL II compliance, dynamic lateral 15 μm/m N - Rigid
• Stylus VNL III compliance, dynamic lateral 14 μm/m N - Firm

DJs can easily identify which stylus type best suits their individual DJ style and enables their absolute best performance capability. This VNL cartridge comes equipped with the VNL II stylus, the others are available separately.
