Artisanal Japanese manufacturing. JICO, acronym for Nippon Precision Jewel Industry Co. LTD, is a Japanese manufacturer well known among enthusiasts of high-quality cartridges and styluses for vinyl turntables, both audiophiles and DJs. This family business based in the Hamasaka region of the Land of the Rising Sun, with origins dating back to 1873, began its history by manufacturing sewing needles. Producing diamonds and cantilevers since 1966 that have made its reputation, the brand has continuously innovated while preserving traditional manufacturing techniques, and now offers its own cartridge holders, cartridges, and styluses for the delight of all vinyl lovers.
Following in the footsteps of a legend. The brand has worked hard to offer audiophiles and DJs a replacement solution for the famous Shure M44-7 and N44-7 cartridges and styluses, true legends that marked the history of Hip-Hop and scratching. On this Omnia J44A-7 DJ, JICO has integrated a J44A-7 moving magnet cartridge, delivering performance equivalent to the Shure M44-7 cartridges of the time, with powerful bass and a smooth, balanced sound. The N44-7 DJ stylus, with its Type S tubular aluminum cantilever precisely crafted to closely match Shure cantilevers, combined with a nude (bare) diamond, offers excellent guidance in the vinyl groove and increased resistance to skipping, while providing you with high-definition audio quality. 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 the needs of DJs. The tracking force has been increased, from a maximum of 3g for the Shure model to 4.5g for this JICO model to ensure better tracking for the most demanding scratch 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.
