Jico J44D DJ IMP NUDE

Jico J44D DJ IMP NUDE is a Moving Magnet DJ element that comes with the N44G DJ Improved Nude needle. This element is suitable for turntables with a standard element mount (1/2 inch) and comes complete so you can mount and use it right away. This is the Nude version, where the diamond is made of one solid piece.

This model was developed for DJs looking for an alternative with a sound character in line with the well-known Shure M44G. The J44D DJ IMP NUDE delivers a balanced and solid sound with a wide and smooth reproduction. The musical response and spatial stereo image match the character of the original M44G cartridge, making this element suitable for mixing, cueing and club use.

The Nude designation means that the entire needle tip is made of solid diamond, unlike bonded versions where a diamond tip is attached to a metal backing. The tip angle and round shape correspond to a standard tapered needle. This ensures stable groove tracking and reliable performance at higher DJ needle pressures.

This ensures accurate groove tracking and slightly more refined reproduction in the mids and highs. The Jico J44D DJ IMP SD uses a synthetic bonded diamond and is more strongly focused on maximum stability for intensive DJ use.
