Pioneer PC-Q1 Stylus: PN-Q1
Pioneer Stylus Replacements
PN-Q1 Stylus for Pioneer PC-Q1
The PN-Q1 is something of a unique stylus in Pioneer’s lineup. Marketed as having a “Pathemalcony type” tip, it was engineered to capture a frequency range of 10–50,000?Hz — making it fully capable of decoding CD-4 quadraphonic records. Although the original stylus is long discontinued, we’re pleased to offer a high-performance Shibata replacement with similar extended capabilities, so you can continue enjoying your PN-Q1 cartridge to its full potential.
