Cartridge Compliance


As a layman I need some basic help with determining the compliance of a cartridge. If the manufacture identifies compliance at 100Hz as 7×10-6cm/dyne how do you convert that to a compliance number similar to 16 µm/mN. Also what numbers would indicate high, medium and low compliance. I have review the forum and found a lot of info on compliance but not the answer to these questions. Thanks for your help

Thank you for your responses and i read the GC Audio piece but i still don't know how to convert the 7×10-6cm/dyne to a 16 µm/mN equivalent. what do cm and dyne represent in the formula and what are the equivalent numbers to insert. Let me reiterate i am a layman in this regard. Thanks
Thank you everyone for the education especially David. One of the things I love about vinyl is there are no absolutes, it is a never ending learning curve and it sound like music that is unless you get your compliance, VTA, VTF, azimuth, speed stability, humidity.......wrong. I guess that is more than one thing.
