The JICO J44D cartridge system is designed for everyone who values precise sound reproduction and reliable performance when listening to vinyl. Developed as a replacement for the well-known SHURE M44 models, it impresses with a clear sound image and stable tracking. Especially in mixing as well as in audiophile applications, the strength of this system becomes evident: detailed playback, high tracking accuracy, and smooth handling of the record. Installation is done directly via the bayonet mount of the tonearm, making setup simple and secure. Thanks to its robust construction, the system is resistant to shocks and vibrations. This ensures consistent playback even when things get more dynamic. Another advantage of the J44D is the ability to use various optional replacement styli, which provide different sound characteristics depending on your preference. This allows flexible adaptation of the application range – from precise listening to creative mixing. The system is manufactured in Japan, which stands for consistently high build quality. Technically, the cartridge is also well equipped: The high output voltage ensures powerful signal transmission, while the linear frequency response from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz guarantees accurate reproduction of all frequencies. With its low weight and high skip resistance, the JICO J44D remains a reliable choice for both demanding listeners and DJs.

With the Jico J44A 7, you get a reliable cartridge system that was specially developed for professional use in clubs and by DJs. It is perfect for mixing, scratching, and beat juggling and impresses with its stable tracking. Installation is particularly easy, as the cartridge is mounted directly onto the turntable tonearm’s bayonet lock. This way, you’re ready to go quickly and can fully focus on your performance.

The J44A 7 comes very close to this sound character and offers the same high output voltage of 8 mV, resulting in a powerful and assertive signal. The tracking ability is also impressive: even during fast scratch movements, the groove remains stable without putting too much strain on the record. Made in Japan, this system stands for precise workmanship and consistent quality. It is delivered without a stylus, so you can freely choose the replacement stylus that suits you best. You have the option to choose between different versions such as the N44-7 IMP, N44-7 DJ IMP, or the striking N44-7 AURORA IMP NUDE.

With the Skratch 101, JICO presents a replacement stylus specifically designed for DJs at the beginning of their careers. It is aimed at everyone taking their first steps in mixing, scratching or beat juggling and in need of a reliable tool. The set is delivered directly as a double pack, so you can immediately build a complete setup – perfect for regular practice or your first gigs. At its core, the stylus impresses with its solid ruby tip. This material is not only particularly durable but also ensures consistent sound quality, even when hand movements during practice are still a bit rough. This way, your records remain protected while you can fully focus on technique and feel. The whole thing is complemented by a spherical stylus cut that provides secure groove contact and works particularly stable during backspins or fast scratch sequences.

Despite being positioned as an entry-level model, the replacement stylus comes with performance characteristics usually found in higher classes. These include a high output voltage of up to 8 mV, which delivers powerful sound, as well as a frequency response from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz that covers all the important details of the music.

With this robust replacement stylus set, you can master mixing, scratching and beat juggling with ease and precision. The Jico Skratch 101-40 Stylus was specially developed to offer aspiring DJs a reliable performance that can withstand even the tough demands of everyday practice. At the heart of this set is an extremely durable, conical ruby stylus tip that easily handles inaccurate handling and energetic scratch routines without damaging the vinyl. Compared to the previous model, this optimised system brings a decisive upgrade to your performance. Thanks to the precisely manufactured conical stylus tip with a diameter of 0.4 mm, your sound gains remarkable tracking.

Thanks to the excellent signal transmission, the set is suitable for both classic analogue vinyl DJing and modern digital vinyl systems (DVS). A rich output level of 5.0 to 8.0 mV guarantees a powerful and clear signal in the club or home studio at all times. So that the needle remains absolutely secure in the groove even during fast backspins or aggressive scratching, the system works with a recommended tracking force of 3.5 to 4.5 grams. The versatility of the product is also reflected in its broad compatibility with established cartridge systems.
