A highly sensitive cartridge with an exceedingly wide range of tracking force.
The Ortofon/Serato S-120 is the world's first turntable cartridge to employ a new technology known as
Asymmetric Suspension (patent pending). Unlike other cartridges, this new technology makes it possible for DJs to use an exceedingly
wide range of tracking force (between 1.5 to 10 grams) without any difference in sound reproduction. Not only can DJs use
the Ortofon OMS-120 cartridge at extremely low tracking forces to virtually eliminate record wear when playing vinyl rarities,
but the tracking force can also be increased all the way up to as much as 10 grams to provide extreme groove handling ability
for even the most demanding and vigorous scratch performance.
Additionally, the S-120 turntable cartridge is engineered
to work perfectly with both Serato SL1 and SL3 interfaces, providing a strong 10.0 mV output and greatly reducing setup and
calibration requirements. Ortofon's Asymmetric Suspension, found exclusively in the S-120 cartridge, helps the diamond to
more effectively trace the groove than any other DJ cartridge, reproducing a level of sound quality formerly only reserved
for far more delicate HiFi cartridges.
Previous to the creation of the S-120 cartridge's asymmetric suspension, sound
quality and ability to "stick to the groove" was greatly dictated by the tracking force being used; too little tracking force
would often lead to the stylus jumping out of the groove during a loud passage or distorted bass response and often created
severe groove damage. Conversely, too much tracking force would limit the movement of the turntable stylus, making backcueing
problematic and leading to poor treble response. It could also damage the suspension irreparably. Ortofon's S-120 turntable
cartridge makes these concerns a thing of the past, providing absolute flexibility in all settings. The OM S-120 Kit mounts
directly onto any standard DJ headshell (not included) and includes a replacement stylus.
Take advantage of high-tech suspension technology when you order this tracking-adjustable
cartridge today.
