Shure's monophonic cartridge, specifically designed to play 78rpm records (everything else we carry is designed for 33/45rpm use). 78rpm records demands a different type of cartridge than used for normal 33/45rpm records. Technically, a 33/45rpm cartridge will work, but the different stylus...

expand review costs about $350. For people demanding a high quality audio cartridge for either listening or recording, the M97xE offers many of the same qualities at much more manageable price. This cartridge offers accurate reproduction that can't be found in dj cartridges, particularly in the high frequency range, precise tracking ability (much lower record wear than a dj cartridge) and a flat frequency response. It also features a "dynamic stabilizer," which maintains a uniform distance between the cartridge and the record under difficult playing conditions, such as those caused by warped records, or mismatched tonearm mass. Just to be clear, the M97xE is recommended for listening or recording/sampling purposes only, it is not designed or recommended for dj use. -the mgmnt
