Genuine Shure N44-7 Replacement Needle for the M44-7 Cartridge. Cartridge not included.

About the M44-7:

This legendary battle needle offers ultra-high skip resistance and ultra-high output.

The needle of choice for many champion DJ's worldwide, including The former Invisibl Skratch Piklz, X-ecutioners, and The World Famous Beat Junkies.

Engineered for scratch DJ's and turntablists, the M44-7 is designed not to skip under even the most demanding circumstances.

Combining Shure's unique wide-diameter Type S cantilever with a tracking force of 1. 5 to 3. 0 grams, the M44-7's rugged construction is highly durable, but will not unduly wear your vinyl. * With a 9. 5 mV output, the highest on the market, the M44-7 produces very powerful, resonant sound.

The 'Z' on the end of the Shure N44-7z model number designates the kind of packaging that the needle comes in. It is the same N44-7 stylus inside.
