Experienced DJs demand specialized Cartridges and Styli that can help them push their creativeness to the edge – consistently testing the boundaries in the realm of Scratch, Turntablism and DJ performance. Ortofon Understand this, and with their considerable expertise in industrial design and technological know-how, they have crafted the VNL.

Improved Performance and Sound

VNL cartridge features many improvements including added resistance to hardcore scratching and back spinning, world-class high tracking performance for both Digital Vinyl System (DVS) usage and real vinyl, and offer the optimum balance of output and sound. There have also been some significant improvements on the technical side of things, including the ultrasonic welding of the components which ensure high rigidity and reduce unwanted resonances.

Fine-tune your DJ performance

To match the various applications of the modern Scratch and Turntable DJ, Ortofon's VNL Cart features three different styli accessories (sold separately) with suspension types of feel and rigidity, Flexible, Rigid and Firm. DJs can quickly determine which stylus type best suits their DJ style and facilitates their overall best performance possibilities.

Spherical stylus

The VNL Cartridge features a spherical stylus which is ideal for tough groove handling. Besides, it will reduce record wear when scratching and back-cueing to the bare minimum.

The broad stance of the Cart features trustworthy and reliable design elements that Ortofon are renowned for, with colours carefully selected to emphasize durability and DJ aesthetics: the cartridge body has been created to provide effortless mounting and alignment on a variety of headshells.
