The Nagaoka DJ-03HD is a moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge specifically designed for DJs who demand precision, durability, and a warm, musical sound. Pre-mounted on a high-quality Nagaoka headshell, it delivers outstanding performance both in mixing sessions and more advanced techniques such as backspin or light scratching.
Thanks to its rugged build and premium materials — including a samarium cobalt magnet and an aluminum alloy cantilever — this cartridge combines the reliability of a professional DJ tool with the high-fidelity sound quality that defines Nagaoka’s Hi-Fi heritage.
Exceptional Sound Performance for DJs
The DJ-03HD’s intelligent design features Nagaoka’s proprietary Moving Iron (MI) technology, which ensures smooth, warm, and precise playback. Its high 6 mV output makes it easily compatible with any MM phono preamp, even in demanding environments like clubs and recording studios.
