A strong new addition to the VNL family
VNL TRIX continues Ortofon’s DJ legacy: a
rugged cartridge built to withstand intensive sets and aggressive techniques. It maintains the ergonomics and compatibility of the VNL series while delivering extra
output level and
resilience designed for the stage.
Who is it for?
Designed for
scratch DJs, turntablists, and battle performers, the TRIX locks the groove no matter how hard you move: cuts, dribbles, backspins – it stays tight. It’s also perfect for resident DJs seeking a full, consistent sound even on heavily used decks.
Features and advantages
The spherical stylus minimizes wear under heavy use, while the
quad coil construction (OFC wire) ensures a stable image. The fluorescent tip speeds up cueing under blacklight. Together, they offer a rare
power/reliability balance for an MM cartridge.
