The Ortofon AS-309R is an advanced 12-inch tonearm, boasting over 130 meticulously redesigned components, engineered to achieve a detailed listening experience. Being significantly longer than the AS-212R, this tonearm offers lower tracking distortion and vibrations for superior playback quality. Its distinctive S-shaped design, coupled with flexible copper internal wiring, allows the AS-309R to move freely, enabling remarkable record tracking and audio fidelity.
With a 311 mm mounting distance and 16.75-degree offset angle, the AS-309R has been optimised to capture every nuance of your audio with minimal distortion. Moreover, this tonearm is constructed from a high-grade aluminium alloy, providing both outstanding rigidity and durability.
The AS-309R's effective seven-gram arm mass is compatible with a broad selection of cartridges, ranging from 18 to 38 grams. Its adjustable height and brass-made universal connector make transitioning between headshells and cartridges simple. Additionally, the inclusion of a 5-pol DIN socket will expand your connectivity options, allowing for integration with a variety of tonearm cables. This makes the AS-309R a perfect choice for vinyl lovers with unique listening needs.
