The Shure SFG-2 Stylus Force Gauge is an easy-to-use tool from that helps you get the perfect tracking force settings on your stylus. Finding the right settings is important to not only get great sound reproduction but also prevents against mistracking, and excessive record and stylus tip wear. The gauge is a highly accurate beam balance instrument designed to measure the actual downward force exerted by a stylus on a record over the range of 0.5 to 3.0 grams. Each gauge is hand calibrated and displays readings in 0.05 gram increments in order to provide a precise measurement of stylus tracking force. Can be used with any turntable stylus.

• accurately measures force of stylus on a record
• proper tracking force settings prevents mistracking, record wear and stylus tip wear
• can be used with any stylus

Long before Shure became recognized for their exceptional DJ cartridges, their phono reputation was built on audiophile cartridges. Their top of the line, the V15VxMR is world famous for its extremely accurate sound reproduction and standout, ultra low record wear. That model costs about $350. For people demanding a high quality audio cartridge for either listening or recording, the M97xE offers many of the same qualities at much more manageable price. This cartridge offers accurate reproduction that can't be found in dj cartridges, particularly in the high frequency range, precise tracking ability (much lower record wear than a dj cartridge) and a flat frequency response. It also features a dynamic stabilizer, which maintains a uniform distance between the cartridge and the record under difficult playing conditions, such as those caused by warped records, or mismatched tonearm mass. Just to be clear, the M97xE is recommended for listening or recording/sampling purposes only, it is not designed or recommended for dj use.

KEY FEATURES

• audiophile/recording cartidge
• standard 1/2" mount
• elliptical stylus
• flat 20-20,000Hz frequency response
• 4.0mV output
• 0.75g to 1.50g tracking force
• dynamic stabilizer brush
• low mass shure type II cantilever
• side-guard stylus protection system
• 1 year warranty

COMES WITH

• brushed aluminum carrying case
• mounting hardware

Shure's monophonic cartridge, specifically designed to play 78rpm records (everything else we carry is designed for 33/45rpm use). 78rpm records demands a different type of cartridge than used for normal 33/45rpm records. Technically, a 33/45rpm cartridge will work, but the different stylus type tends to generate poor sound quality and puts major wear on the records.

KEY FEATURES

• 78 rpm cartridge
• standard 1/2" mount
• spherical stylus
• 4.0mV output
• 1.5g to 3.0g tracking force
• 1 year warranty

COMES WITH

• mounting hardware

LAB POINTS

• multi-function club dj cartridge
• concorde-style cartridge
• detailed sound reproduction
• good skip resistance, low tracking force
• reliable electrical contact

OUR OPINION

Shure's entry into the concorde-style cartridge market. This is the first real competition we've seen to the dominant Ortofon line. The White Label is aimed specifically at today's hybrid club deejays, combining the high grade sound quality demanded for club use with Shure's legendary scratch ability and low record wear. From our testing, we've found that the sound quality is comparable to the Ortofon DJ (blue)cartridge, with an output at 6.0mV, great skip resistance, and a low tracking force for minimal record wear. The white label also makes several new improvements over other concorde-style cartridges. It is the first concord-style cartridge that allows you to adjust stylus overhang (useful for setting up on different turntables), and according to Shure, they have also developed a reliable electrical connection for the part that plugs into your tonearm. This should eliminate the eventual poor connection that may occurs with other concorde-style cartridges. For straight scratching, the M447 is still number one in terms of skip resistance, but the White Label is an excellent combination of club sound quality and scratch ability.

KEY FEATURES

• spherical stylus
• 6.0mV output
• 1.50 to 3.0g tracking force
• 20 to 20,000Hz frequency response
• 1 year warranty

If you've got an old turntable at home that doesn't have a standard 1200's style headshell mount, this is the answer. The M92E will fit 85% of all turntables, capable of both P-mount style (one small screw on the side) and the standard headshell mount. It also produces Shure quality sound with relatively low record wear.

KEY FEATURES

• hi-fi listening cartridge
• will replace cartridge for most old turntables
• p-mount (side) and standard 1/2"
• mounting capability
• biradial stylus
• 5.0mV output
• 1 year warranty

COMES WITH

• both p-mount (screw attaches through the side) and standard 1/2" 4-pin mount attachments.

The M44G offers a unique balance of skip resistance and sound quality. For scratching, the performance is very similar to that of the M447, slightly less skip resistant with the same low record wear. However, the M44G offers a more balanced output with better overall sound quality. The output of the M44G is quite a bit lower than the M447, but still comes in at a hefty 6.2mV. The qualities stated make this an excellent choice for club djs.

KEY FEATURES

• multi-function club/ scratch/ mixing cartridge
• high skip resistance
• high definition sound
• low record wear
• standard 1/2" mount

• screwdriver
• stylus cleaning brush
• packaging doubles as a cartridge case, capable of holding two cartridges on headshells

LAB POINTS

• all purpose dj cartridge
• good skip resistance
• standard 1/2" mount

OUR OPINION

The SC35C is Shure's classic workhorse, a highly durable cartridge with skip-resistance comparable to the M44G. Before the 44 series came out, everyone was using these and many hip hop djs still swear by them. The sound quality is about the same as the 447 (heavy on bass response), with an output of 5.0mV. They are a bit more rugged than the M44 series, but they also put more wear on your records. An excellent beginner to intermediate choice.

OUR OPINION

The undisputed king of scratch cartridges, the M447 is one of the most reliable and skip-resistant cartridges on the market. When set up properly and broken in, it will stick to the groove better than anything else we've encountered. The proof is in the users, and just about every big name is the scratch dj world swears by the M447. The M44-7 also boasts a very low tracking force, which translates into minimum record wear.

The sound output from the M447 features great bass and a loud 9.5mV output. Overall, you can't do much better than this for DJing purposes. Highly Recommended.

PERFORMANCE NOTE

These cartridges must be broken-in. Please use for at least 2 weeks for maximum performance and skip-resistance.
