Description
DJ QBert is one of the most respected names in hip-hop and turntablism. So when Ortofon teamed up with ‘Q’ to design a cartridge and stylus from the ground-up, you knew it was going to be good. Ortofon’s QBert series features rock-solid handling, extremely high output and low-wear characteristics. Ortofon also toned down some of the high end to reduce some of the unwanted artefacts that are introduced from well-worn vinyl, and a slightly hyped mid-range designed to enable scratching to cut through the mix.
Made in Denmark.
