Description

★Loud, clear and powerful. Output 10mV VNL★

VNL DANCE is a high-output oval stylus cartridge suitable for genres such as techno and house.

■Features of the VNL DANCE The high-end DANCE stylus features an elliptical stylus and a distinctive yellow fluorescent stylus. The elliptical stylus picks up the sound from the record surface more precisely, resulting in the clearest and widest range of music reproduction in the VNL series. If you're looking for a DJ stylus with a rich, high-quality, and voluminous sound, like a more powerful version of the Concorde MkII Club, then the DANCE is the one for you.

■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. Ortofon has used its many years of expertise to develop a generator engine (magnetic circuit) that can produce a 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.
