ltra-flat frequency response
The
MICROWALL
/Be
cantilever raises the stylus
mechanical resonance frequency to 33 kHz, well
beyond the audible range, ensuring the flat response
shown in Figure 3, as well as superior high-frequency
channel separation.
The V15VxMR features high output levels with fewer
turns of wire on its coils, which results in a lower
impedance at the output terminals, making the
frequency response of the cartridge less sensitive to
capacitive and resistive loading.
T
he Dynamic Stabilizer/Destaticizer
Shure's exclusive Dynamic Stabilizer acts like a
miniature shock absorber, maintaining a constant
cartridge-to-record distance, as shown in Figure 4, to
ensure uniform tracking force. This minimizes such
warp-related problems as groove skipping, cartridge
bottoming, signal wow, and even amplifier and/or
speaker overload.
The viscous-damped Dynamic Stabilizer attenuates the
arm-cartridge system resonance effect that causes large
increases in sub-audio frequency output and possible
mistracking.
When in the “operating” or “guard” positions (see
Figure V in the Installation Manual), the Dynamic
Stabilizer protects the stylus and record from damage
if the tone arm is accidentally dropped onto the record.
As shown in Figure 5, there are over 10,000 tiny,
electrically conductive fibers in the Dynamic Stabilizer
brush. These tiny fibers discharge surface static
electricity and, though not meant to be the primary
record cleaning mechanism, do sweep away
microscopic dust particles.
