Universal 1/2"-Mount Headshell

The Audio-Technica AT-HS6SV is a universal 1/2"-mount headshell designed for 4-pin turntable cartridges. It suits vinyl enthusiasts and DJs who need a reliable, lightweight platform for precise cartridge alignment and tracking.

Ultra-Lightweight Aluminium Build

An ultra-lightweight 9 g aluminium die-cast body keeps vibration to a minimum, helping preserve groove detail. A built-in finger lift allows precise stylus placement during cueing, while gold-plated lead wires ensure lossless signal transmission. Mounting screws are included for immediate installation.

Upgrade for Worn or Basic Headshells

This headshell replaces worn, damaged or entry-level units that add mass or degrade signal integrity. The jump is worth it when tracking accuracy suffers or when a lighter, more rigid shell is needed to reduce resonance and improve playback fidelity.
