Ortofon VNL
Brand: Ortofon
The Ortofon VNL (Very Low Output) is a specialized moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge designed for use with low-gain audio systems such as integrated amplifiers, interface preamplifiers, or low-powered solid-state amplifiers. Its output is low at just 0.3 mV, making it ideal for systems with lower than average input sensitivity. However, the VNL's low output level also means that it requires a high-gain phono stage or step-up transformer to properly amplify its signal. This makes the VNL a niche product, but for those who need it for its specific low-output level, it offers exceptional accuracy, resolution, and detail retrieval, thanks largely to its fine-elliptical diamond stylus and advanced cantilever and coil technology. In short, the Ortofon VNL is a specialized tool for users who require the lowest available output level from their MM cartridge, but it comes at a price premium due to its highly specialized nature.
