## Features

- Plug-and-Play Setup, Zero Alignment Headaches: The HDCN-15 comes with the CN-15 cartridge already mounted and factory-aligned right out of the box, no stylus gauge, no protractor, no guesswork. Just clip it onto your tonearm and drop the needle. Perfect for DJs who need to get back to spinning fast and don't have time to fiddle with cartridge alignment.
- Fits Virtually Any Turntable You Own: Built with a standard SME-style headshell connection, the HDCN-15 slots into the vast majority of DJ and consumer turntables, from entry-level belt drives to club-standard direct-drive decks. If your turntable takes a standard headshell, this one fits.

Audio comes through clear and balanced across the frequency range, so your vinyl sounds the way it's supposed to.
- Built Tough Enough for the Gig Bag: The rugged headshell housing keeps the cartridge locked in place and minimizes vibration transfer during playback, transport, and repeated swaps. Whether it lives in your DJ bag as a permanent backup or on your tonearm full-time, it's built to hold up.
- The Smart Spare Every DJ Should Carry: Needles break. Cartridges wear out. The HDCN-15 is an affordable, ready-to-go solution that gets you back on the decks in seconds without a trip to the shop. Ideal as a replacement, an upgrade from a bare headshell, or a backup kit essential for gigging DJs and vinyl enthusiasts alike.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What weight setting is specified for this cartridge? got manual?**
A: According to the product information for the bare stylus on another store, the stylus is meant for 1.5-3.0g. Note that you WILL have to adjust the tracking weight, since this headshell is a bit heavier than some of the stock shells. In my case, the tracking weight ends up at 2.85g before adjustment. (My stock stylus tracks at 2.0g). So this headshell is 0.85g heavier than the Audio Technica shell that came with my table.

I'm fine with that... it just means I have to dial the counterweight back to 1.15 when I mount this shell.

**Q: Will this work with a gemini d.j.q 1100 turntable for home listening?**
A: Yes, it will work. However, if your original turntable does not have a pre-amp, you have to connect one before the main amp.

**Q: Will this fit a sony ps-lx250h?**
A: No.However,the included stylus (at3600) will work with Sony ps-lx250h.

**Q: Will this work with sony ps-242 turntable**
A: That’s the turn table I have and it worked
