About the V15

The original Shure V15 is a moving-magnet stereo phono cartridge introduced in 1964. It was designed around a 15-degree vertical tracking angle and used a biradial (elliptical) stylus, with an emphasis on accurate groove tracking at low tracking force. This entry refers specifically to the original V15, not later models such as the V15 Type II, Type III, or V15VxMR.
