Nieuwe looks voor alle stanton elementen

Geschreven door Reind Dooyeweerd woensdag, 31 mei 2006 05:16

Stanton heeft na alle gear ook zijn elementen een opfrisbeurt gegeven en eerlijk is eerlijk..... ik vind dat ze er op vooruit zijn gegaan, qua looks dan.

Of er verder nog wat is veranderd? Al sla je me dood, ik ga er alleen niet vanuit dus verwacht geen wonderen nu de elementen ineens een fris kleurtje hebben ;-)

Groovemaster.V3
The Groovemaster.V3 is Stanton's high-end club integrated headshell cartridge. Equipped with an elliptical stylus, the Groovemaster.V3 delivers clean transcription of the record groove while the 4-coil pickup ensures sound quality on the level of an audiophile cartridge. The Groovemaster.V3 is the sure choice for the discriminating _{(<- dit stond/staat er echt.... volgens mij is het discrimineren in vrij vertaald nederlands, ik mag hopen dat ze wat anders bedoelen zoals onderscheidende o.i.d ;-) )} club DJ and producer.

Trackmaster.V3
With very high output and little cue burn, the Trackmaster.V3 is perfect for any club / scratch situation. The Trackmaster.V3 integrated design eliminates the need for mounting the cartridge on a headshell.


Scratchmaster.V3
The Skratchmaster.V3 is Stanton's first headshell mountable version of the master series body. This provides the great stereo imaging of the master series cartridges and the ability to re-align the cartridge on the headshell for improved tracking response.



Discmaster.V3
Ideal for daily playback, the Discmaster.V3 is a great all around cartridge for any application, and best of all, it won't leave a hole in your pocket. The Discmaster.V3 integrated headshell design eliminates the need for mounting the cartridge on a headshell.



890.FS
The 890.FS is the first cartridge to be shipped with 2 types of styli and is designed for use with FinalScratch. The 2 spherical styli are designed for scratching and general playback. The 2 elliptical styli are designed for hi-quality playback for recording of records into the FinalScratch system or any other application where sound quality is critical. The 890.FS also includes a stylus mountable dust brush which sweeps dusts off of the groove of the record during playback and recording.



680.V3
The legendary 680.V3 cartridge is regarded as one of the best cartridges on the planet for mixing, club use, and scratching. The wide-band frequency response will give you high energy record playback and that extra punch you need to quake the dance floor whether playing dance or hip-hop. The 680.V3's suspension is designed to be very stable for those less then perfect club setups. The suspension is so robust that the 680.V3 functions just as good as a scratch needle as it does as a club needle.



680E.V3 (eliptische versie van de 680.V3)
The 680.V3 is the latest generation of Stanton's popular 4 coil standard mount stereo cartridge line for club DJs. It boasters the renown Stanton ruggedness balanced with total musical responsiveness. The elliptical stylus is guaranteed to extract the subtle details in your vinyl, while the 4-coil moving iron pickup translates it into clean and accurate output.



520.V3
Designed with the most demanding cueing in mind, the 520.V3 offers the tightest suspension in the 500 family of products. The results: this cartridge can take the most demanding loads and deliver on point tracking during backspinning and scratching.



505.V3
The new 505.V3 is the best budget-priced scratching cartridge available today. The super sturdy stylus has been coupled with the most pumped-up output for the deepest bottom and in-your-face sound.



500.V3
The 500.V3 is an updated version of the classic Stanton 500AL. With more years spent on the decks than any other cartridge in the world, the 500 series has earned a reputation as a standard. The 500.V3 represents a perfect balance between economy, reliability, ruggedness and optimum performance.



400.V3
The 400.V3 is the 500.V3's younger sibling with attitude. The 400.V3 is a 2-coil spherical cartridge with enough punch to ensure that any vinyl that passes under it, gets a loud boomy output. With a combination of the ruggedness and value of the 500.V3, and being the worlds loudest cartridge, the 400.V3 packs more bang (or should we say boom) for the buck than any other needle in the world.




De meeste elementen worden zowel in een matched pair als in een single versie verkocht. Hier en daar wat uitzonderingen daargelaten.
Technische specs mag iedereen zelf gaan bekijken op de site van Stanton zelf waar ook grotere plaatjes te bekijken zijn. (ik had namelijk geen zin om de tabellen te copy en pasten rond dit tijdstip.... tis nu namelijk 4:00AM ;-) ).

Aangezien er verder geen veranderingen zijn (althans daar ga ik vanuit) houd ik het mooi bij mijn Ortofon DJ's. Ik moet de eerste Stanton dj naald nog tegen komen die daar tegen op kan (al zou de trackmaster vast en zeker wel erg mooi staan bij mijn roze sl'etjes ;-) )
