2667px; font-weight: bold;">Handcrafted in Japan, this pair of N44G DJ Improved pens is ideal for DJs looking to replace their legendary Shure N44G diamond with a premium equivalent that performs similarly. Optimized for high downforce and equipped with an S-type cantilever similar to vintage Shure models, these pens are perfect for recapturing the sound and feel of the famous Shure N44Gs, while providing excellent guidance in the vinyl groove.

Japanese handcrafted.
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 diamonds and cantilevers since 1966, which made its reputation, the brand has continued to innovate while maintaining traditional manufacturing techniques, and now offers its own cell holders, cells and diamonds for the happiness of all vinyl lovers.

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

JICO prioritized the use of a full spherical ("naked") diamond for this pen, 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 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 prevent harmful rubbing.
