Ortofon STYLUS VNL TRIX
The Ortofon Stylus VNL TRIX is a performance replacement stylus created specifically for the Ortofon VNL cartridge platform. Developed in collaboration with championship turntablists and battle DJs, the TRIX model features a purpose-engineered, ultra-stiff rubber suspension compound designed to maximize groove retention during rapid scratch movements, hard hand manipulations, and intense backcueing routines without jumping out of the record groove.
Core Performance Features
-
Battle-Tuned Suspension: Calibrated with a dedicated high-resistance elastomer damping system that minimizes lateral wobble, keeping the cantilever pinned securely during aggressive cuts and beat juggling.
-
Superior Skip Resistance: Delivers high resistance against stage rumble, heavy platter impact, and booth vibrations in loud, high-SPL competition and club environments.
-
Low-Wear Spherical Diamond Profile: Outfitted with an 18 µm precision spherical diamond tip that sits cleanly in the groove microgeometry, reducing groove wear and vinyl burn on traditional analog pressings as well as DVS control discs.
-
Universal VNL Modular Fit: Slides straight onto any standard Ortofon VNL cartridge body, allowing instant replacement or performance swapping between different DJ routines.
-
Optimized DVS & Analog Tracking: Fully compatible with standard vinyl collections and digital vinyl systems (Serato DJ Pro, rekordbox DVS, Traktor Scratch), ensuring continuous timecode tone tracking under heavy hand manipulation.
