Commentary
MI type cartridge of DJ series.
The needle tip of the DJ series is designed to enable smooth tracking without opposing the change of the groove even in reverse motion.
In order to prevent needle skipping and tracking errors even when the brakes are suddenly applied, all DJ series devices perform normal tracing with a heavy needle pressure of 2g to 5g.
A fluorescent point is attached to the tip of the cantilever so that the position of the needle tip can be clearly seen even in dim light.
It is equipped with a unique V-guard to protect the needle tip.
