Product Information
If you're looking for ways to dominate the local DJ battle scene, the Shure Whitelabel DJ Phono Cartridge is your secret weapon. This indispensable piece of audio equipment is engineered to provide a high level of skip resistance. You’ll enjoy a solid drop base and nuanced highs and lows. It will help preserve the records you use to create your signature sounds, too. The device measures 6.9 by 3.1 by 1.3 inches and weighs 6.4 ounces. This piece of equipment integrates the head shell with a needle, which makes installation a cinch. Since it’s already mounted, all you need to do is screw the unit into the turntable arm. A cartridge is the electromechanical device that interprets the information contained in your LP grooves. It then transmits that information back to other parts of your audio system in order to actually create the sound you’re hearing. One end of the device is attached to the needle, moving both vertically and horizontally along the etched record groove. The other end of the device contains a tiny coil of wire and magnets. This coil generates a small sound signal. Balancing the stylus in the grooves is critical. If you apply too much force, the grooves on your vinyl records will wear down much more quickly. The recommended tracking force range for the Shure Whitelabel is between 1.5 and 3 grams. This will work for any frequency response between 20 and 20,000 hertz. This relatively low amount of force helps preserve your vinyl. It also means your needle will be much less likely to jump its groove. Additionally, this relatively low tracking force helps to minimize sonic distortion when you shuffle between digital files and analog media. This Shure Whitelabel equipment utilizes moving magnet technology. A tiny magnet on the end of the stylus is suspended between two coils. The movement of the stylus along the record grooves causes it to vibrate. Those vibrations, in turn, induce a small amount of current in those coils. Moving magnet cartridges can work with any phono component of your stereo system. Your new Whitelabel cartridge system will need to be broken in before you’re ready to play clubs or parties. Styluses create better sound once they learn to accommodate the specific angle of your DJ setup. You may not even be aware that your DJ setup has a slight tilt, but your playback equipment is. Shure cartridges typically take between 30 and 50 hours to break in so that they're up to speed. Remember, too, that DJ cartridges aren’t designed to provide you with an easy listening experience in your living room. If you want to listen to the vinyl you love outside the club, you’ll need a more conventional turntable setup. This equipment was designed to fit DJ decks, working well with systems like the Technics 1200, LP-120, or decks that use similar tone arm attachments. The Shure Whitelabel DJ Cartridge is exactly what you need to create dynamic music for a highly demanding audience.Product Identifiers
