The Ortofon AS-309R tonearm is a reference class device. All aspects of the tonearms design and construction has been meticulously engineered to minimise unwanted vibration and distortion, ensuring a crisp, clear, and accurate sound. 

Ortofon have been designing tonearms since 1953, and these latest models have been named in the same style as some of their legendary forbears. Taking their names from the distance between the tonearm pivot point and the record player spindle, the AS-212R (9”) and AS-309R (12”) can be adjusted in height to fit a wide range of turntable models. 

Thanks to the high quality SME-style universal connector, the tonearms are also capable of accommodating a wide range of headshell-mounted cartridges, as well as Ortofon’s own iconic SPU cartridge range. The high-quality of the connector and the ease of operation allows music lovers to make cartridge changes to suit different musical styles or distinct parts of their record collection.
