Audio-Technica AT-LH18H 18-Gram Universal Half-Inch Mount Headshell

The Audio-Technica AT-LH18H is a precision 18-gram universal half-inch mount headshell designed for serious vinyl playback. Machined from aluminum with a hard anodized finish, it suppresses unwanted vibration so your cartridge — not headshell resonance — defines the sound. It is optimized to accommodate cartridges with threaded bodies, such as Audio-Technica's AT-OC9X moving coil series and VM95 series, making installation clean with no nuts required.

What sets the LH-series apart is adjustability. An adjustable cylinder mechanism enables precise azimuth and overhang settings, letting you dial in cartridge geometry far more accurately than a fixed headshell allows — a meaningful upgrade for extracting the most from high-resolution styli. High-purity OFC (oxygen-free copper) lead wires carry the delicate phono signal without compromise.

The AT-LH18H is the heaviest of three available weights (13 g AT-LH13H, 15 g AT-LH15H, 18 g AT-LH18H), letting you match headshell mass to your cartridge compliance and tonearm for optimal resonance behavior.
