Shure V15 Type IV Stylus: VN45, VN4G
Shure Stylus Replacements
VN45HE for Shure V15 Type IV
If you're looking to match the original VN45HE stylus supplied with the Shure V15 Type IV, a hyper elliptical replacement from this category is your best choice. These are naturally popular among V15 Type IV owners for their faithful tracking and sound reproduction. We've also included Tonar’s Shibata stylus in this group, as its profile belongs to the same family of advanced line contact shapes as the original HE design.
