Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Ortofon’s SH-2 Black is a DJ headshell for turntables with an S-shaped or J-shaped tonearm and a standard SME bayonet mount. Its glass fiber-reinforced co-polymer body is intended to provide stability while limiting unwanted resonance. A raised fingerlift gives you a defined place to handle the headshell during changes, and the color-coded leadwires arrive premounted with gold-plated connectors. The non-conductive material also helps prevent ground loops when cueing or switching tracks.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Turntables with an S-shaped or J-shaped tonearm and a standard SME bayonet mount.
- Cartridge changes where a raised fingerlift and premounted color-coded leadwires aid handling.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Turntables that do not use the specified S-shaped or J-shaped tonearm and standard SME bayonet mount arrangement.
