Ortofon LH-9000 headshell

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. 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 cartridge and tonearm correctly. Please scroll to the bottom of the page to see the headshells mounting dimensions chart. 

The LH-9000 comes with leadwires for easy and convenient connection

All Ortofon cartridges have a colour 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, whilst Ortofon headshells' PINs diameter is only 1.0 mm.
