Ortofon LH-9000 magnesium/carbonfiber headshell 16,8 gram

An exceptionally high quality carbon fiber headshell, the LH-9000 is made using carbon fiber resin for the elimination of unwanted resonances. The LH-9000 is perfect for a variety of high-end cartridges, e.g., the Cadenza Series, MC A95, MC Anna Diamond, MC Anna, and MC Windfeld Ti. Knowing the fundamental headshell dimensions will in a lot of cases make it easier to mount and align the cartridge and tonearm correctly. Please scroll to the bottom of the page to see the headshells mounting dimensions chart.

All Ortofon cartridges have a color coding of the terminals, indicating red and green for right channel, respectively hot and ground terminal. White and blue for left channel, respectively hot and ground terminal. Green terminal will always be used for grounding the cartridge housings or motor-system whenever connected inside the cartridge. We recommend to connect lead wires to the cartridge and headshell before mounting the cartridge on the headshell. Please remember correct orientation of the leads. Ortofon cartridges' terminal PINs diameter is 1.2 mm, while Ortofon headshells' PINs diameter is only 1.0 mm.
