Bang V150E (c. 1971–1972)
The Bang V150E was a moving-magnet phono cartridge. Little survives beyond a period spec-sheet listing, but the listing is clear enough. This was an upper-tier cartridge, not a budget oddity.
HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (1972, p.35) listed the V150E at $100.00. The stylus was a 0.2 x 0.7 mil elliptical. Tracking force ran from ½ to 1½ g at a 15° tracking angle. Output was 4.0 mV at 3.54 cm/sec, frequency response was 5-30,000 Hz (reference not stated), and channel separation was better than 25 dB at 1 kHz. Replacement stylus was the SV150. The same listing shows a stablemate, the V140, at $69.95 with the SV140 stylus, which puts the V150E at the top of a small Bang cartridge line. Audio-Collection (1972, p.37) carried essentially the same specification block.
Beyond that, the record is thin. No measured review appears in the period sources we have, and production dates, packaging, and deeper history are undocumented.
