DJ cartridge Reloop OM BLACK Weight 5 g

The Reloop OM BLACK DJ cartridge Weight 5 g is a moving magnet cartridge designed for headshell mounting and tailored to the needs of professional DJs. With a robust aluminium-reinforced body and a well-balanced 5 g tracking weight, it delivers clear audio reproduction, reliable tracking and mechanical durability that suits frequent use in clubs and live performances. The cartridge is engineered to offer stable sound across a wide range of groove dynamics while maintaining the responsiveness required for beatmatching and manual cueing.

Advantages

The cartridge combines solid build quality with consistent sound performance. Its OM-style profile provides good channel separation and stable tracking at typical DJ tracking forces, while the durable construction withstands the mechanical stress of back-cueing and light scratching. The compact, low-mass design contributes to accurate transient response and reduced record wear when properly aligned.

Suitable for

• Club DJs performing extended sets
• Live performances and mobile DJing
• Turntablism requiring reliable cueing and light scratching
• Home studios and DJ practice with headshell-mounted tonearms

Key specifications

• Cartridge type: Moving magnet (OM-style) suitable for headshell mounting
• Recommended tracking weight: 5 g nominal
• Construction: Reinforced body designed for mechanical durability
• Audio characteristics: Clear midrange and stable channel separation for DJ use
• Compatibility: Standard DJ tonearms accepting headshell-mounted cartridges

How to use

Mount the cartridge to a compatible headshell according to the tonearm manufacturer’s alignment guidelines, ensuring correct azimuth and overhang. Set the turntable’s counterweight so the tracking force reads approximately 5 g and confirm vertical tracking angle and anti-skate settings match the cartridge’s recommended values. Use proper phono cabling and grounding to minimise hum and ensure accurate signal transfer; if necessary, perform fine adjustments to alignment and tracking force to optimise sound and minimise record wear.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance in club and live environments, check cartridge alignment and tracking force before each performance. Avoid excessive force when cueing or scratching—this cartridge is designed for light to moderate deckwork. Regularly clean stylus and records to extend cartridge life and maintain consistent audio quality.
