Ortofon - Diamant S120

Advantages and benefits of its characteristics

The best playback performance for scratching and turntablism
For a DJ who looks for improved playback performance in scratch and turntablism, it allows an unprecedented level of resistance jumps and the ability to choose any tracking force between 1.5 and 10 grams. In the Concorde version auxiliary weight is included for additional downforce. On one hand, this facilitates the ability of DJ to perform the most demanding routines, but that also requires much less configuration time and the balancing arm.

The horizontal tracking ability reaches 120 microns
Despite the extreme rigidity of the asymmetric suspension, the possibility of horizontal monitoring reached a staggering $ 120 microns, allowing the tip to move more freely than in any other cell that has ever existed. This causes not only a better possibility of reading of the groove at any speed or any direction, but also allows a much higher level of performance with even lower contact forces to 1.5 g.

Vinyl wear reduced to a minimum
S-120 is suitable for discs "collector" dance music, because the wear of vinyl traditionally find DJ is minimized. The outstanding reading ability of advanced S-120 can play the most powerful pressings (even those with low surmodulées) with just the strictly necessary downforce, resulting in a significant reduction in wear the disc.

Absolute flexibility in all settings
Unlike other cells, S-120 keeps the same characteristics of sound quality regardless of the support force. Before the creation of asymmetric suspension of the S-120, the sound quality and the ability to stick to the groove were largely dictated by the pressing force used - too little downforce often resulted jumps out of the tip furrow during a strong passage, a distortion of bass response and often severe damage to the furrow. In contrast, too much downforce limited the movement of the tip, resulting in poor treble response; it could also damage the suspension irreparably. The S-120 ranks these problems to the radius of the past, providing absolute flexibility in all settings.

Elimination of configuration and calibration needs
Another aspect resulting from the use of asymmetric suspension technology of the S-120 is the virtual elimination of configuration and calibration needs. As the performance of the S-120 are not restricted by excessive pressing force, the need to spend unnecessary time to adjust the downforce during a live performance is greatly reduced. In fact, the S-120 shows fewer side slip or "skate" as any other cell, which not only adds to his supreme ability to maintain in the groove, but also allows it to follow the furrow more regularly than any other cell . Of course, the output voltage of the S-120 was increased (10.0 mV), where exceptional timecode performance and signal / noise ratio SL1 and SL3 with interfaces.

Unprecedented sound quality level
Finally, extremely high reading capacity achieved by the S-120 gives a level of sound quality that one would never have thought possible from modern DJ cells. For this reason, when playing traditional vinyl, DJs will experience a balanced sound quality, faithfully and properly even rivaling the cells of sound capabilities usually reserved for the only home reading.



  Product History
Throughout the history of DJing, the art of the provision has continually evolved under the impetus of new technologies, including many
are derived from the invention of innovative equipment means pushing beyond their limits.
New generations of DJ use innovations to further increase their level of dexterity, testing the limits again
the most modern equipment in order to reach the zenith of performance.
One aspect of DJing has changed considerably in the last decade is the use of vinyl, like Serato and Ortofon are two
Companies heavily involved in this revolution. The paths of the two companies were to meet one day or another, dedicated Ortofon
DJs using vinyl and Serato by entering manual control of vinyl in the 21st century. It is through this collaboration that was
designed S-120.

The S-120 brings an entirely new technology that differentiates entirely from another cell of history. The technology, called
asymmetric suspension, brought cell performance in the future. With asymmetric suspension technology, the tip has a
breathtaking vertical stiffness while its possibility of horizontal movement reached levels never before achieved. Ortofon has
filed a patent for this new technology.
