Cartridge:
The SA-10 Portable Solo-Phone System uses the Shure
M44C Stereo Dynetic Phono Cartridge which reproduces
music with remarkable clarity and naturalness of tone. The
cartridge has been installed into the pickup arm head, at
the factory. The stylus pressure has been preset at
3 to 5
grams for optimum results. The stylus replacement for the
Shure M44C Cartridge is the Shure N44C.
The Shure N44-3 Stylus is available for use with the M44C
Cartridge to reproduce the standard 78 r.p.m. recordings.
SPECIAL NOTE: The Dynetic stylus assembly used in
these cartridges is the most critical component. Tomaintain
the original performance standards of your cartridge, be
certain that any replacement stylus you buy bears the fol-
lowing certification on the package: "This Stereo
15"
DyneticN stylus is precision manufactured by Shure
Brothers, Inc."
Avoid inferior imitations. They will seriously degrade the
performance of your cartridge. All gen~~ine"Dynetic" styli
are manufactured by Shure Brothers, Inc.
The stylus assembly, when installed in the cartridge, is
practically immune to damage during normal usage. How-
ever, care should be taken to avoid bending or distorting
the stylus assembly when it is installed or removed.
