Tonearm phono cartridge A
Accurately reads signals from the groove on the record
High Sensitive Tonearm
The tonearm, which is responsible for accurately reading the signal by tracking the groove on the
phono record, is a static‐balance universal S‐shape tonearm, another Technics tradition. The tonearm
pipe is made of lightweight, high‐rigidity aluminium. The bearing section of the gimbal suspension
construction tonearm consists of a machined housing and high‐precision bearing to provide high
initial sensitivity. All in all, the tonearm accurately traces the groove on the record and reads the
signal.
High‐sound‐quality MM cartridge provided
Phono Cartridge
The supplied universal head shell is mounted with an Ortofon 2M RED cartridge. So, you can play a
record immediately after purchasing the SL‐1500C.
The tonearm height can be easily adjusted within a range of 6 mm to enable the use of various other
phono cartridges. Using the auxiliary weight that comes with the product, a cartridge weighing 14.3 to
25.1 g (including the supplied head shell) can be used.
