JICO N44G-AUR N44G DJ - N-44G Improved Aurora

Optimized for high downforce and equipped with an S-type cantilever similar to vintage Shure models, this glow-in-the-dark body pen is perfect for recapturing the sound and feel of the famous Shure N44Gs, while providing excellent guidance in the vinyl groove.

Japanese craftsmanship.
JICO, an acronym for Nippon Precision Jewel Industry Co. LTD, is a Japanese manufacturer whose name is well known to afficionados of high-quality vinyl turntable cells and diamonds, both audiophile and DJ. This family business based in the Hamasaka region of the Land of the Rising Sun, whose origins date back to 1873, began its history with the manufacture of sewing needles, a precision activity that already foreshadowed its future! Manufacturing the diamonds and cantilevers that made its name since 1966, the brand has continued to innovate while maintaining traditional manufacturing techniques, and now offers its own cell holders, cells and diamonds for the enjoyment of all vinyl lovers.

The perfect replacement for the legendary Shure N44G.
The Shure N44G pen has earned its credentials with audiophiles and DJs worldwide, thanks to its smooth, musical response and exceptional stereo imaging. The JICO-developed N44G Aurora gives you those same legendary features, thanks to a Type S tubular aluminum alloy cantilever that's precision-worked to be as close as possible to the original Shure cantilevers, while offering an optimal 7° angle of attack.

JICO favored the use of a full spherical ("naked") diamond for this stylus, with the tip cut from a single piece of diamond. More expensive and qualitative than glued tips, this naked diamond is lighter and offers a much better tracking of the groove of your vinyl, as well as a more efficient transmission of oscillations for a much richer sound.

A pen thought above all for the DJ.
This N44G Aurora pen offered by JICO, which reproduces sounds similar to authentic Shure pens, benefits from improvements made by the brand to best meet the needs of DJs. The recommended pressure force has been increased from 1.5g for the Shure model to 3.5-4.5g for this JICO model to ensure better groove tracking for the most demanding turntablism sessions. The angle of attack has been upgraded from 10° for the Shure diamond to 7° on this JICO version for even more faithful playback quality. And to protect the diamond in all circumstances, this model benefits from a protective flap that folds down over the pen to avoid any harmful friction.

Don't stay in the shadows with the Aurora version anymore!
Innovative from JICO, this Aurora version of the N44G features a special resin pen barrel made of 100% Lumi Nova glow-in-the-dark pigments, whose performance does not degrade over time! These glow-in-the-dark pens will both be a great help to quickly locate the position of your pickup in dark environments, and will definitely set you apart from all other DJs.
