Know before you buy
The right-angle orientation is specifically designed to save space behind your turntable or phono stage. It allows cables to exit parallel to the equipment chassis, which prevents sharp bends and reduces strain on the cable and the connector itself.
Yes, this is an excellent choice for DIY projects. It features a solder-style termination, making it ideal for custom phono cable builds or replacing worn-out connectors on high-end tonearm cables.
FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) is a high-performance dielectric material known for its low signal loss and excellent insulation properties. It helps maintain signal integrity and clarity by minimizing capacitance and interference between the pins.
You will need standard soldering equipment to attach your wires to the pins. Because the housing is machined aluminum, we recommend using a steady hand and proper heat management to ensure a clean, secure connection without damaging the internal components.
This is a standard female DIN phono plug, but it is intended for use with compatible male DIN tonearm outputs or phono box inputs. Always verify the pin configuration of your specific tonearm or cable to ensure compatibility before beginning your installation.
