Ortofon OM Screws – Mounting Screws

The Ortofon OM Screws are mounting screws for fitting OM-series cartridges to the headshell.

The OM series is Ortofon’s proven entry point – and anyone who has ever searched the carpet for a tiny cartridge screw knows why spares at home are worth their weight in gold.

Why the OM Screws?

Without the right screws no cartridge sits securely in the headshell, and with the wrong screw threads and nerves suffer. The original set is matched to OM cartridges, so you do not have to guess thread and length at the hardware store.

What you get

Who is the OM Screws for?

For owners of OM cartridges (for example OM 5E, OM 5S or Super OM 5E) who are mounting, swapping or need replacements. Straight talk: 2M-series cartridges have their own screw set with different lengths.

Our verdict

Five francs for proper fixing instead of a makeshift solution. An inconspicuous part that decides everything when mounting.
