The only difference between the two models is that the M44-7-H comes pre-mounted on a Technics headshell virtually eliminating set up time. The M44-7 does not include a headshell so one will need to be provided in order to use the cartridge on your turntable. Both models include one stylus and an accessory kit that features a headshell screwdriver, stylus cleaning brush and headshell weight.

Replacement styli for this cartridge is the N44-7

Combining the Shure unique wide-diameter Type S cantilever with a tracking force of 1.5 to 3.0 grams, the M44-7's rugged construction is highly durable, but will not unduly wear your vinyl.

With a 9.5 mV output, the M44-7 produces powerful, resonant sound.
