Key facts about the Ortofon VNL DANCE cartridge
- Elliptical diamond for more detail and a better-defined soundstage than the spherical version
- 10 mV output and 100 µm tracking: massive level and reliable hold in club conditions
- Aluminium cantilever and exclusive suspension for stability under pressure
- Fluorescent neon yellow tip visible under UV light for ultra-fast cueing
In the range: precision and musicality
VNL DANCE completes the series with a more
hi-fi approach to DJ sound. The elliptical stylus reads the groove with greater finesse: sharp transients, tighter lows and detailed mids, while keeping the
stage resilience typical of the VNL line.
Recommended use
Perfect for DJs focused on
mixing and versatile performance: house, techno, open-format. It keeps the groove tight in seamless transitions while offering richer playback for extended listening sessions.
Features and advantages
The combination of elliptical diamond,
quad coils and OFC wire ensures excellent channel separation and precise rendering. The neon stylus makes visual cueing easy in dark environments. The VNL architecture allows for quick stylus replacement and adaptation depending on context.
