Ortofon VNL Cartridge with VNLII Stylus

Among skilled DJs, the need for specialized tools is ongoing, driving their creative journey toward innovation's edge. These DJs consistently seek to expand performance boundaries and discover fresh artistic dimensions.

Building on this understanding and drawing from our extensive experience in industrial design and technology, we introduce the Ortofon VNL cartridge. Carefully designed to meet the demands of modern turntablists and portablists, the VNL stands as a testament to our commitment to pushing limits and reshaping possibilities.

The VNL comes with the VNL II stylus pre-mounted on the VNL cartridge body.

Tailored to meet the distinct needs of DJs - Features
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.

Versatile styli options - 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:

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

A synergy of innovation and craftsmanship - Ultrasonic welding and robotic precision
Amidst its exceptional performance, the VNL represents the synergy of innovation and craftsmanship. The uniformity of components is fortified through ultrasonic welding, imparting unparalleled rigidity and a freedom from unwanted resonances. Precision reigns supreme through robotic assembly of the stylus unit, ensuring consistent excellence within an industrial context.
