<p>Replacement styli for <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct&q=Ortofon%3A+VNL" target="_blank">Ortofon's VNL DJ cartridge</a>. The difference between the three options are their respective compliances (springiness/rigidity) and by extent their recommended tracking forces. A stylus' compliance tells you how firm or soft the suspension of a cartridge's stylus assembly is. Stylus compliance and effective mass of the tonearm + cartridge together determine the mechanical resonance frequency of the arm/cartridge system. The three options provided by Ortofon enable a DJ to get that "just right" feel for scratching & back-queuing.</p> <p>"DJs can easily identify which stylus type best suits their individual DJ style and enables their absolute best performance capability." - Ortofon</p> <p><strong>Stylus VNL I - Flexible</strong><br></p> <ul> <li>Output voltage at 1000Hz, 5cm/sec. - 6 mV</li> <li>Channel separation at 1kHz - 20 dB</li> <li>Frequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz -2/+4 dB</li> <li>Tracking ability at 315 Hz at recommended tracking force - 100 μm</li> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Compliance, dynamic lateral - 16 μm/mN</span></li> <li>Tracking force range: 3 - 5g</li> <li>Recommended tracking force: 4g</li> </ul> <p><strong>Stylus VNL II - Rigid</strong><br></p> <ul> <li>Output voltage at 1000Hz, 5cm/sec. - 6 mV</li> <li>Channel separation at 1kHz - 20 dB</li> <li>Frequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz -2/+4 dB</li> <li>Tracking ability at 315 Hz at recommended tracking force - 90 μm</li> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Compliance, dynamic lateral - 15 μm/m N</span></li> <li>Tracking force range: 3 - 5g</li> <li>Recommended tracking force: 4g</li> </ul> <p><strong>Stylus VNL III - Firm</strong><br></p> <ul> <li>Output voltage at 1000Hz, 5cm/sec. - 6 mV</li> <li>Channel separation at 1kHz - 20 dB</li> <li>Frequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz -2/+4 dB</li> <li>Tracking ability at 315 Hz at recommended tracking force - 90 μm</li> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Compliance, dynamic lateral - 14 μm/mN</span></li> <li>Tracking force range: 3 - 5g</li> <li>Recommended tracking force: 4g</li> </ul>
