Leadwires and connection

Ortofon supplies leadwires with the headshell. Ortofon recommends connecting the leadwires to the cartridge and the headshell before mounting the cartridge on the headshell, and checking the orientation of the leads. Ortofon cartridge terminal pins are 1.2 mm in diameter and Ortofon headshell pins are 1.0 mm.

The LH-9000 has a mounting distance of 38.1 mm - 44.9 mm. It is 52.0 mm long and 20.0 mm wide. Ortofon publishes a headshell dimensions chart on its product page, which makes it easier to mount and align the cartridge and tonearm correctly.
