Record Needles, Turntablist, Scratch

Simplifying the setup for turntablists worldwide, Shure recently announced the release of the M44-7-H Turntablist Cartridge pre-mounted on a Technics headshell. Scratch DJs can now virtually eliminate setup time and install this model directly onto a turntable tonearm.

Revived exactly the same as the original, this legendary battle needle offers ultra-high skip resistance and ultra-high output. The needle of choice for many champion DJ's worldwide, including The former Invisibl Skratch Piklz, X-ecutioners, and The World Famous Beat Junkies. Engineered for scratch DJ's and turntablists, the M44-7 is designed not to skip under even the most demanding circumstances.

Combining Shure's unique wide-diameter Type S cantilever with a tracking force of 1.5 to 3.0 grams, the M44-7's rugged construction is highly durable, but will not unduly wear your vinyl.
With a 9.5 mV output, the highest on the market, the M44-7 produces very powerful, resonant sound.
