Handmade and assembled in Japan, the Omnia J44D Improved DJ SD Black kit is the ideal cartridge, stylus, and headshell set for DJs seeking a premium all-in-one solution to equip their turntable. Equipped with an exclusive black JICO aluminum headshell, a J44D cartridge, and an N44G SD stylus based on a high-quality synthetic diamond, this kit is perfect for recreating the sound and feel of the famous Shure M44G and N44G cartridges at a very attractive price.
Following in the footsteps of a legend.
The Japanese brand JICO has worked hard to offer audiophiles and DJs a replacement solution for the famous Shure M44G and N44G cartridges and styluses, true legends that have marked the history of Hip-Hop and scratching. On this Omnia J44D DJ SD, JICO has integrated a J44D SD moving magnet cartridge, offering performance equivalent to the Shure M44G cartridges of the time, with that characteristic sound that is both smooth, full, balanced, and very musical.
The N44G SD stylus, with its Type S tubular aluminum cantilever precisely crafted to closely match Shure cantilevers, combined with a nude synthetic diamond, provides excellent guidance in the vinyl groove and increased resistance to skipping, while delivering high-definition audio quality.
A high-quality synthetic diamond.
The SD range, standing for Synthetic Diamonds, uses synthetic diamonds instead of natural diamonds. Artificially created, these synthetic diamonds share the same optical and physical properties as natural diamonds, while offering very consistent performance at a controlled cost. Thanks to a diamond tip with an adjusted diameter and a new cantilever damping system, synthetic diamonds can deliver a pleasant and precise sound, more defined than a glued natural diamond, while maintaining a lifespan exceeding 200 hours.
A model optimized for DJs.
This complete kit offered by JICO, which reproduces sounds very close to authentic Shure cartridges, benefits from improvements made by the brand to best meet DJs' needs. The tracking force has been increased, from 1.5g for the Shure model to 3.5 - 4.5g for this JICO model to ensure better tracking for the most demanding sessions. And to protect the stylus under all circumstances, this model features a protective flap that folds over the stylus to prevent any harmful friction.
