Ortofon VNL Dance Cartridge With Stylus

VNL DANCE

Ortofon just leveled up with the all-new VNL TRIX and VNL DANCE, the latest additions to the iconic VNL series. Built tough, tuned for performance, and ready for the stage. The VNL TRIX and VNL DANCE cartridges are engineered for DJs who demand both power and precision.

A Blend Of Fidelity And Stability

With its elliptical stylus, VNL DANCE pulls more information from the groove - delivering sharper details and fuller sound compared to the spherical/conical shaped stylii found on most DJ needles. Built to take a beating, VNL DANCE features a rigid aluminum cantilever with Ortofon’s exclusive rubber suspension for stability under pressure. Premium tracking keeps the needle locked for professional use, and the neon-yellow fluorescent stylus glows under UV light.

LOUD. CLEAN. POWERFUL.
Pumping a massive 10 mV output, the VNL DANCE deliver raw volume and crystal clarity to any rig, from underground raves to big-room stages. Louder than ever before, it brings pure energy to the system.

Rock-Solid Tracking
Thanks to its 100 µm trackability, the VNL DANCE resists skips and holds the groove under aggressive techniques like scratching and back-cueing. Expect reliable performance in clubs and on tour, with clean, consistent playback!

Find your mark, even in the dark!

VNL DANCE features a neon-yellow fluorescent stylus that glows under UV light, making cueing faster while adding standout style to your setup. Its elliptical diamond traces the groove more precisely than the spherical shape used on VNL TRIX, delivering sharper detail and fuller sound.

Interchangeable Stylus

The VNL TRIX is fully VNL-compatible - also with the classic VNL cartridges - letting you swap styli to match your vibe and flow.
