Ortofon SH-2 Black Universal Headshell for Turntables
The Ortofon SH-2 Black Universal Headshell provides a lightweight and durable mounting platform for a wide range of phono cartridges. Designed to work with turntables that use the standard SME bayonet mount, this headshell delivers stable performance for DJs, collectors, and vinyl playback enthusiasts. Its simple installation and broad compatibility make it an excellent upgrade or replacement for many tonearm setups.
The SH-2 Black is made from a glass fiber reinforced copolymer that offers a strong balance of rigidity and low mass. At only 9.3 grams, it helps reduce tonearm load while maintaining reliable tracking and signal integrity. The ergonomic finger lift mirrors the design of Ortofon Concorde models, offering comfortable handling during cueing and performance use.
