Other mounting characteristics are that it has 4 exposed wires in the back and is almost never found on a linear tracking turntable. Because this cartridge is mounted on the the headshell with two vertically mounted screws, side by side, ½" apart, it is known as a ½" mount cartridge. If your turntable is linear tracking it means the whole tonearm slides several inches from side to side as opposed to the standard type usually designated 'straight' or 'S shaped' which pivots on a stationary 'hub' assembly at the right rear corner of the turntable. Possibly the only newly manufactured OEM cartridge that is truly suitable for old school high mass tonearms often sporting a record changer mechanism dating back to around the 1970s.Įxplanations: The headshell is the hardware attached to the end of the tonearm that is usually distinguished by the 'handle' that sticks out to the right for lifting the tonearm over to the record from the rest position. Generally intended for an S shaped tonearm that can accept a standard mount cartridge. So, this pickup is thee entry level cartridge for most older standard ½" mount turntables.Īpplication Note: Special feature cartridge for OLD legacy turntables equipped with a heavy effective mass tonearm (older tonearms are often quite heavy by today's standards). In short what this means in general is that the older your table is, the more likely it is to have a heavier tonearm unless you specifically know you have a high end turntable. In the 60s, 70s and 80s, most turntables and record changers had a heavier tonearm than what is standard today. The same cartridge has been sold with and as original equipment across dozens of brands for decades now. Our BC3600L cartridge will get that old legacy turntable up n running quickly. Strong carbon fiber cantilever resists harsh environments such as nursing homes and record stores.Suitable for older turntables including record changers."Grain-Oriented" Diamond resists needle and record wear.Hi tracking pressure which is needed for many older players.
