This cartridge is the result of a competent design alliance between technical expertise, and the expectancies and requirements of one of the world's greatest scratch DJs. The Qbert has a supreme ability to trace the grooves of your records and is tailored specifically for scratch DJs of all genres with its enormous output and clarity with deep bass frequencies. Similarly, the high-end frequencies are more subdued, helping to minimise surface noise on worn vinyl, while the mid-range is accentuated, to bring the scratch noises to the fore. This design, technically and aesthetically, truly is in a class of its own.
