High Output for Loud Environments: With an ultra-high output level of 11mV, the cartridge provides a powerful signal, which helps in loud DJ environments like clubs or live performances. DJs can rely on consistent performance, even in venues where clarity might otherwise be lost due to high ambient noise.

Exceptional Tracking Ability: The OM Q.Bert is engineered for enhanced groove tracking, essential for professional scratching, back-cueing, and fast mixes. Its specially designed spherical stylus ensures minimal record wear while providing solid adherence to the groove, even in fast-paced DJing. This makes it ideal for DJs who require reliability in their setup.

Durability and Scratch Resistance: Designed to handle the most demanding DJ performances, the OM Q.Bert cartridge is built to withstand heavy scratching and cueing. Its robust construction helps it to endure even the toughest performances while maintaining consistent sound quality.

The SH-4 headshell from Thud Rumble is paired with the OM Q.Bert cartridge to ensure a professional-grade DJing experience. This headshell, designed by the Thud Rumble crew, is optimized for performance and ease of use, particularly in the context of scratch DJs and turntablists.

Ergonomic Design: The SH-4 headshell features an ergonomic design with a wide finger grip, allowing for easy manipulation during performances. This design improves precision during scratching and ensures seamless handling for any fast movements that DJs make during their sets.
