Technical details of the Ortofon VNL TRIX on SH-2 Black

The pre-assembled VNL TRIX on SH-2 has all the sonic and mechanical strengths of the single cartridge - supplemented by the stable SH-2 headshell made of high-quality aluminum. This combination not only increases the overall stability, but also optimizes the weight distribution for perfect balance on the tonearm.

The cartridge itself delivers an output voltage of 10 mV, making it ideal for loud environments and club sounds. The tracking capability of 100 µm ensures excellent groove fidelity, even during heavy scratching or fast backcueing. With an aluminum stylus carrier and a spherical stylus (R 18 µm), the construction is designed for durability and gentle record use.

The exclusive Ortofon needle bearing paired with a quad-coil system made of oxygen-free copper (OFC) guarantees a detailed and clean sound transmission. The channel separation is 22 dB at 1 kHz - a clear advantage for precise mixing and stereo image reproduction.

With a linear frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB), the system offers powerful bass reproduction and clean highs. The dynamic lateral compliance of 12 µm/mN optimizes the adaptation to different turntable arms and further improves the tracking performance. The recommended tracking force is 4.0 grams, which ensures stable tracking for any type of DJ performance.

The pre-assembled set has a total weight of 17 grams and is therefore perfectly balanced for immediate use on almost any S tonearm.
