M951D SERIES: M95HEID AND M95EDID DESTATICIZER CARTRIDGES
The M951D Series
With the Unique Shure Destaticizer
And Shure Side-Guard Stylus Protector
The M95HEID and M95EDID cartridges combine M95 performance and high trackability with the Shure Destaticizer whose conductive carbon fibers ground static charges on the record surface. An added bonus is the Side-Guard Stylus Protection System which responds to accidental side thrusts on the stylus by withdrawing the entire shank and tip safely into the stylus housing before damage can occur.

Because the Destaticizer excludes static from the amplifier and speakers, static-caused clicks and pops are eliminated from the audio system. In addition, the conductive fibers prevent static charges, either on the record or on the turntable dustcover, from attracting or repelling the tone arm. The arm-to-record distance, the tracking angle, and the tracking force remain constant; and the cartridge retains its full potential tracking ability.
The Destaticizer'stiny groove-contact fibers reach down into the groove and sweep away interfering dust and grit. The Destaticizer contains more than 10,000 individual fibers with an average diameter of 7.6~(.00(13 in.) each. Because the groove is swept clean before the stylus reaches it, the stylus tracks the groove and not the dust. Reproduction is enhanced, and both record and stylus life are prolonged, because the dust particles are prevented from abrading either the groove or the diamond tip.
Two M951D Models are available:
The M95HEID has a distortion-reducing nude hyperelliptical diamond tip and tracking force of W to 1% grams.
The M95EDlD has a nude biradial (elliptical) diamond tip and tracking force of to 1 grams.

IMPORTANT: Always remove the stylus before making connections or mounting the cartridge. The cartridge's Destaticizer should be in the "guard" position throughout. Exercise care so your fingers don'tslip and damage the stylus tip or shank.
