PICKERING XV-15/625DJ

Commentary

MI type cartridge developed for exclusive use by DJ.

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.

There were regular models and shell-attached models.
