High Tracking Performance: The VNL delivers 90 µm tracking ability at 315 Hz when using the recommended 4 g tracking force. This helps maintain stable groove contact during demanding DJ techniques, including scratching, back-cueing, and intensive vinyl performance.

Spherical Diamond Stylus: The spherical diamond stylus features an R 18 µm tip radius, providing a design suited to demanding DJ use. Its profile supports reliable groove handling while helping minimise record wear during scratching and back-cueing.

Pre-Mounted VNL II Stylus: The cartridge includes the VNL II stylus pre-mounted on the cartridge body. Its 15 µm/mN dynamic lateral compliance provides the rigid suspension characteristic associated with the VNL II configuration.

Interchangeable Stylus Options: The VNL cartridge accepts three VNL stylus options with different suspension characteristics. VNL I offers a flexible feel, VNL II provides a rigid feel, and VNL III delivers a firm feel.

DVS and Vinyl Compatibility: The VNL supports high tracking performance for both DVS and traditional vinyl setups. Its cartridge body also facilitates mounting and alignment across compatible headshell configurations.

Ultrasonic and Robotic Construction: Ortofon uses ultrasonic welding to strengthen component uniformity and rigidity while reducing unwanted resonances. Robotic assembly of the stylus unit also supports consistent manufacturing precision.
