- Page 4 the seven year search The V-15 Type I l l is the result of seven years of extensive laboratory development in which revolutionary, computer-produced data were drawn upon to establish new performance parameters and chart new directions in design. New core structure. New stylus assembly. Among the most notable design achievements of the Type Ill are an entirely new laminated magnetic core structure, and an ingenious new stylus assembly with a 25% reduction of effective stylus mass.
- Page 5 Since Shure engineers have long known that isolated improvements in individual design parameters do not necessarily produce significant changes i n total cartridge performance, all improvements were brought into perfect equilibrium with each other, so that each per- formance factor enhanced every other performance factor.
- Page 6 sound the V-1 ti Tane The sound of the Type Ill, paradoxically, is due in no small part to an absence of a sound of its own. Its sound is so neutral and coloration- free that your finest recordings can be reproduced precisely as they were recorded, without emphasis or de-emphasis.

Although the V-15 Type Ill car- tridge will track records at gram, i t may be necessary, when used in certain phono arms, to increase the tracking force for optimum results.
