Flexible Suspension: The VNL I uses 16 μm/mN dynamic lateral compliance, giving it the flexible suspension characteristic specified for this stylus. This responsive suspension provides DJs with an alternative feel compared with the other VNL stylus options.

100 μm Tracking Ability: The stylus achieves 100 μm tracking ability at 315 Hz, supporting consistent groove contact during demanding vinyl playback. This specification helps the stylus follow record grooves reliably during active DJ sessions.

Interchangeable VNL System: The VNL I works within Ortofon’s interchangeable VNL stylus system. DJs can therefore select compatible styli with different suspension characteristics while keeping the VNL cartridge body.

Adjustable Tracking Force: The VNL I supports a 3–5 g tracking force range, providing flexibility when configuring a compatible turntable. Ortofon recommends 4 g for the tracking force.

20 dB Channel Separation: The stylus delivers 20 dB channel separation at 1 kHz, supporting clear distinction between the left and right stereo channels during compatible vinyl playback.

Wide Frequency Response: The VNL I provides a 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency response with a specified response of 2/+4 dB. This range covers the audible frequencies used in vinyl reproduction.

Practical Replacement Solution: The VNL I provides a dedicated replacement option for compatible VNL cartridges. This allows DJs to refresh the stylus without replacing the complete cartridge body.
