For turntablist and portablists
VNL
Among skilled DJs, the need for specialized tools is ongoing, driving their creative journey toward innovation's edge. These DJs consistently seek to expand performance boundaries and discover fresh artistic dimensions.
Building on this understanding and drawing from our extensive experience in industrial design and technology, we introduce the Ortofon VNL cartridge. Carefully designed to meet the demands of modern turntablists and portablists, the VNL stands as a testament to our commitment to pushing limits and reshaping possibilities.
The VNL comes with the VNL II stylus pre-mounted on the VNL cartridge body.
To align with the diverse demands of contemporary DJs, the VNL cartridge offers interchangeability with three distinct styli, each equipped with suspension types of varying feel and rigidity:
