Baru-Ya 01M-S Blue Needle] Sapphire
The Taruya 01M-S blue needle is the "world's best performing needle" for DJ play on "analog records".
Celebrating the 20th anniversary since the release of the 01M red needle, Taruya has finally completed the world's best analog record DJ needle with the world's best "sound", "needle skip prevention", and "record-friendly sapphire" records, and as an "aspiration" for our fans!

Product Features/Performance
Shuttle-shaped body with a sapphire tip for a record-friendly needle.
The world's first shuttle-shaped sapphire needle!

The world's best analog record-playing DJ needle/cartridge that has left its mark on history!

We have created the "world's TOP level, hard-to-skip needle" for DJ play on analog records.

The world's highest level needle for DJ play and also for listeners who only listen to records.

Dynamic range that is unmatched by other needles when playing dance music and all other genres of music and popular music!

The sound quality is unparalleled when playing scratch music!

The story behind the birth of JAH SHAKA: When JAH SHAKA, the leader of Roots Rock Reggae/Dub Step, visited Japan in 2015, Taruya CEO Abe received a direct request for a sapphire needle from him.
However, Abe, the CEO of Taruya, felt that "just a sapphire needle" was not enough, so he also equipped a "shock absorber" developed for "MURO"'s 7-inch DJ play to prevent needle skipping, and realized unprecedented "sound pressure" and "sound thickness"!
This is a "historical product" that no other manufacturer has been able to produce in this century. We have developed a truly legendary record needle!

Years of research and testing through trial and error! And finally completed in 2018! A gem born of "fine Japanese handcraftsmanship"! It is a master craftsmanship!


The dedicated replacement needle for the Tarutoya 01M-Blue needle is the 01N-S.
TW-01M-S, a set of two needles with a special case, is also available.

For those who play HiP-Hop style with a DVS system such as Serato DJ, the "Tarutoya FPC-07M silver needle" is the best choice.
For those who play reverse rotation with PC control Vinyl such as Serato-DJ/Pioneer rekordbox, we recommend the "Taruya FPC-07M Silver Needle", which is listed separately.
In the case of DVS operation, most manufacturers' needles spin in reverse and do not follow the play.


Taruya / ABE INTERNATIONAL Inc.
Mr. Takeshi Taruya, who has been manufacturing microphones and record needles since the 1950s, and Mr. Goshi Abe, a very experienced sound engineer, teamed up to launch the brand "Taruya" in 1998.
Mr. Abe has been active in the professional sound field for 40 years, including PA sound for professional artists and LIVE recording for broadcasting stations. He is also a pioneer in the DJ equipment business since the 1970s, and was the organizer of the "DMC" DJ Mixing Championships in the 1990s, and established the DMC Tokai Tournament as well as the Kanto A Block Tournament at Shinjuku Studio ALTA.
He is also the organizer of the DMC "DMC" DJ Mixing Championships, and established the DMC Tokai Tournament, as well as the Kanto A Block Tournament at the ALTA studio in Shinjuku! and the "Taruya FPC-07M silver needle," which pursues the world's highest level of readability, backspin, and playback sound quality when used with PC-DJ/DVS systems, have been highly praised by the world's top DJs!

*This product is sold in units of one (main body cartridge with needle).
The special aluminum case and replacement needle shown in the image are not included.

Taruya Pro Series record needles are checked for "waveform," "shape," and "operation" at the manufacturing plant in Gunma Prefecture, and then undergo a rigorous final check for "sound output," "needle jump," "balance," etc. at the inspection room before shipment at the headquarters in Shizuoka Prefecture, where they undergo a "strict double check before shipment.
In the check at the head office, we actually use a DJ booth to "check the operation of each and every unit, sound production, and needle jumps in highly difficult scratches".
This is a 100% quality shipping system that other manufacturers do not have.
