Based in Hamasaka, Japan, Jico’s artisan craftsmanship can be traced as far back as 1873, when sewing needles were a much-needed commodity for assembling kimonos. Starting in the mid-20th century, Jico would solidify their place among audiophiles around the world with their handcrafted turntable components. Leveraging the company's statured history, the J44A 7 Omnia DJ Improved Nude cartridge features an N-44-7 DJ stylus with a Jico Type S cantilever and diamond tip. Decades of experience ensure that each cartridge is a perfect match, with the J44A 7 Omnia faithfully re-creating the precise qualities of the original Shure M44-7 cartridge and the accompanying N-44-7 stylus. Designed with scratching in mind, this diamond-tipped delight is made for Moving Magnet use, with a tracking force of 3.5 to 4.5 G. Plus, the UV-reactive tip glows in the dark, making for a stylish supplement that’s great for low-light gigs. Sweetwater’s audio experts agree that Jico’s premiere craftsmanship and dedication truly live up to the maxim they have adopted: “necessity is the mother of invention.”
