Shure M44-7 Turntablist Cartridge

Product Information

My preconception was that the M44-7 would produce an inflated bass in comparison with the others, but that is not the case. I've heard that Shure, Jico and Tonar all need time to break in - would leaving the tonearm/stylus resting on a piece of vinyl for a night or two be a decent way to start the process? I realise actually playing the thing is best but is that an ok warm up? I wouldn't have the turntable powered or platter spinning, just letting the cantilever 'break in'. The Shure V15 marks I and II are not really worth considering for your turntable, unless interested from a collector’s point of view. Their sound was unrefined compared to the later series. Better sound could be achieved by a new M97xE for less. My understanding is that the original line up was M44E, M44-5, M44-7 and M44C. They appeared about the time of the first V15 as they share the same body in different housings. The N44-1 and N44-3 styli added mono and 78rpm to these models. The M55E appeared when the original V15 was replaced by the V15II, as to all intents purposes they are the same and the M44-5 was superceded by the M44G.

I think I would skip the more expensive Shures like the M97 or M91 and buy one of these. They are typically half the price or at least far less. Throw a new eliptical needle in yours and enjoy the music! I would like to thank Michael Pettersen for his time and very informative interview. It is always a pleasure to reminisce about a hobby that is ever changing and, for some of us old timers, will never be quite the same. A: They did in the late 70s. But we couldn’t come up with something better performing than what we had in moving magnet units.

The Different Types of Shure V15

The sound of the Shure M44-7 can leave a little to be desired to some ears. The highs tend to be rather shrill. The bass is extremely weighty and pronounced. This is one of the reasons hip-hop DJs tend to enjoy using the Shure M44-7. A similar version of the M44-7, the M44-G, is lighter on bass and warmer in the treble. In addition, the output voltage is 9.5 V if I'm not mistaken, and you can see the difference with gains. Estetique side are not the most beautiful, but it did not matter much, I especially love these beautiful low dynamic, well rounded, well doduu!

They advised that the only difference between the 'N44-7' and 'N44-G' models (1.5-3g) and the 'N44-7 DJ/Club' and 'N44-G DJ/Club' is the colour of the body. In 1997, the V15VxMR was introduced with improvements in the stylus design and pole piece design to provide a warmer and more musical sound quality.
