{"product_id":"ortofon-sh-2-headshell-schwarz","title":"Ortofon SH-2 Headshell, Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ortofon SH-2 is a universal headshell in black made of glass-fibre-reinforced polymer with an SME bayonet connection for S- and J-shaped tonearms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the headshell for anyone who wants a second cartridge ready without investing a fortune in aluminium: 25 francs, 9.3 grams, already wired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the SH-2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it does the essentials right. The non-conductive material helps prevent ground loops, the raised finger lift makes lowering and lifting easier, and the colour-coded leads with gold-plated connectors are already fitted. Ortofon designs it for everyday use as well as for concentrated listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA light, uncomplicated headshell that allows quick cartridge changes – ideal for DJ set-ups as well as anyone who uses several cartridges in turn. At 51.41 × 21.31 mm (L × W) it is compact and fits the usual turntables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the SH-2 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor S- and J-shaped tonearms with a standard SME bayonet – and anyone looking for an inexpensive spare headshell. \u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e The SH-2 is a polymer headshell, not an aluminium heavyweight: for a high-end MC with resonance demands there are better solutions (for example the SH-4 or the LH series). And like any headshell it does not fit arms with a fixed headshell. Whether mounting screws are included is not explicitly stated by Ortofon – we will provide the matching set if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA solid, light standard headshell at a small price. Anyone who wants to park a second cartridge or rebuild a DJ cartridge set-up cannot go wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eType: universal headshell with SME bayonet connection, for S- and J-shaped tonearms\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMaterial: glass-fibre-reinforced polymer, non-conductive\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eColour: black\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 51.41 × 21.31 mm (L × W)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMounting distance: 34.9–43.9 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWeight: 9.3 g without screws, 9.5 g with screws\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWiring: pre-fitted colour-coded leads with gold-plated connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncluded: headshell with pre-fitted lead wires\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the SH-2 fit my tonearm?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt fits S- and J-shaped tonearms with a standard SME bayonet connection. Tonearms with a fixed integrated headshell – for example on Rega – are not compatible. Tell us your turntable and we will confirm the fit before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the SH-2 and SH-4?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SH-2 is made of glass-fibre-reinforced polymer and is non-conductive, the SH-4 of anodised aluminium. Both have an SME bayonet and weigh about the same (9.3 g and 9.2 g). The SH-2 is the more affordable choice, the SH-4 the stiffer one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre the lead wires already fitted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the SH-2 comes with pre-fitted, colour-coded leads and gold-plated connectors. It suits a cartridge that you mount yourself or have mounted by us. We carry matching screws for 2M and OM cartridges as original sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Ortofon SH-2 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a headshell only works properly with the right mounting and alignment. We check fit with tonearm and cartridge and set everything up on request – Andy and technician Mauri in Wädenswil.
