Essential Information About the JICO Impact SD Black Cartridge

  • High-end alternative to the Shure M44-7 : a very similar sound with enhanced bass presence for club mixing.
  • Enhanced tracking for DJs : higher tracking force (3.5 to 4.5 g) for solid groove hold and better resistance to skipping.
  • Includes JICO N44-7 DJ SD stylus : full synthetic spherical diamond and JICO Type S cantilever for precise tracking.
  • Handcrafted in Japan : cartridge hand-made and assembled, designed for intensive use.

A cartridge designed to capture the "M44-7" spirit, with more impact

Handcrafted and assembled in Japan, the JICO Impact SD Black is aimed at DJs who want to retain the legendary Shure M44-7 and N44-7 sound signature while gaining more low-end presence. JICO drew inspiration from this iconic DJ reference and evolved the design to achieve a richer bass response, particularly suited for club sound systems.

This version features a JICO-designed IMPACT moving magnet cartridge paired with an N44-7 DJ SD stylus, offering a balance of power, playback stability, and definition, while remaining accessible as a reliable replacement for classic setups.

For which DJs and uses?

The JICO Impact SD Black is ideal for club DJs and users who mix long, loud sets in demanding environments (booths, bars, parties, events). Its higher tracking force setting helps secure playback during blends, quick transitions, and energetic handling, while maintaining a broad and punchy musical reproduction.

It is also suitable for mobile DJs seeking a robust and stable cartridge, as well as vinyl enthusiasts wanting to recapture a classic DJ-style sound with strong low-end and good tolerance in challenging acoustic environments.

Features and innovations

This Impact SD incorporates a moving magnet cartridge delivering a high output voltage (up to 8 mV) to effectively drive your DJ setup. The JICO N44-7 DJ SD stylus uses a full synthetic (nude) spherical diamond : the SD ("Synthetic Diamonds") range favors synthetic diamonds with physical and optical properties equivalent to natural diamonds, offering more consistent performance and better cost control.

The enhanced JICO Type S cantilever is precision-crafted from tubular aluminum to closely emulate the original Shure cantilevers, promoting excellent groove tracking. The assembly is optimized as "DJ Improved" with a higher tracking force to secure tracking, and a foldable diamond protection guard to reduce risks during transport, setup, and cartridge changes in the booth.
