The brand new Ortofon-Serato 'S-120' sees two of the world's finest manufacturers of DJ technology unite for the first time to create a pick-up cartridge of unprecedented specification. The 'S-120' embodies the combination of experience and 'accuracy in sound' that Ortofon are famous for, with the forward-thinking and famously stable technology of Serato's Digital Vinyl System, 'Scratch Live'. In the ever-present age of DVS, no manufacturer has yet looked to optimise the first 'link in the chain' of pick-up cartridge technology in any dramatically new way. However, the Ortofon-Serato project has set to change that with technology which, even outside of DVS usage, has created one of the most impressively spec'd DJ cartridges on the market.
The revolutionary, patented design boasts a number of technological breakthroughs which the whole spectrum of vinyl-based DJs can benefit from; most notable of which is the development of an all-new asymmetric suspension technology. The development of this technology has allowed for an amazing amount of vertical rigidity - translating as less vinylskip - while at the same time increasing the horizontal tracking ability to levels never before accomplished - allowing for higher levels of musical detail and anti-skate. This latter success is manifest in the form of a massive 120i (micro-metres) tracking ability, whereas all those before it have traditionally been around 80 im. Now DJs can scratch, rewind, cue and track with unrivalled accuracy.
Another breakthrough is an increased capacity for reduced vinyl wear. The exceptional tracking ability of the 'S-120' allows for even the loudest record-pressings to be played at a bare minimum of tracking force (down to 1.5 grams), keeping record wear as limited as possible. This makes the cartridge highly adept at playing traditional vinyl for both DJing and listening purposes. Also because of the asymmetric technology, there is almost no need for an extended set-up and calibration process. The 'S-120's performance is unrestricted by excess tracking force, greatly reducing the need to adjust it during a live gig.
Finally, the Ortofon-Serato 'S-120' is the ideal cartridge for playing back timecoded vinyl. The output voltage is at a high 10.0 mV (mili-volts), allowing for increased timecode performance at a high signal-to-noise ratio, especially when used with the 'SL1' and 'SL3' audio interfaces.
Features:
Next generation cartridge design from Ortofon and Serato, designed for both digital and standard djing.
New asymmetrical suspension technology, exclusive to the S-120, allows for exceptional tracking (resulting in fewer skips during DJing)
Reduced record wear, allows you to play loudest pressings at bare minimum tracking force. great for preserving your valuable 12"s.
Easy setup and calibration. the asymmetrical technology virtually eliminates need for setup and calibration. the S-120 is unaffected by excess tracking force!
Output voltage 10.0 mV, yielding exceptional timecode performance and a high signal-to-noise ratio, when used with SL1 and SL3 interfaces. This gives you perfect and reliable control over your mixing and performance with software like Serato Scratch Live.
