Ortofon have been producing tonearms since 1953 and these arms have more than a nod to that heritage. There are two models available, with the names referring to their pivot to spindle length in mm (but easier to remember them as 9" and 12" variants!). With beautiful engineering and precision Japanese made bearings, these statically balanced tonearms are highly adjustable with both a wide range of VTA adjustment as well as azimuth.

Thanks to the universal SME-style connector the tonearms are also capable of accommodating a wide range of headshell-mounted cartridges (headshell not included), as well as Ortofon’s own iconic SPU cartridge range.

As standard it comes with the high quality Ortofon 6NX-TSW1010 external tonearm cable included (via a base mounted 5pin connector) and two counterweights to cover a wide variety of cartridge and headshell weights.
