The Pro-Ject Signature Headshell is designed specifically for use with Pro-Ject's Signature series tonearms and turntables, providing a precision-matched mounting solution that extracts the full performance potential of your cartridge. Crafted to exacting standards in Europe, it reflects Pro-Ject's long-standing commitment to analogue audio quality.
Premium Polished Finish with Silver Leads
The Signature Headshell Premium is crafted from aluminium in a polished finish and fitted with pure silver headshell leads. Silver offers superior electrical conductivity compared to standard OFC copper cables, contributing to a purer signal path between cartridge and tonearm for more accurate, detailed sound retrieval.
Cartridge Compatibility
Fitting all tonearms equipped with the industry-standard SME mounting connection, the Signature Headshell accepts any standard 1/2 inch cartridge. The azimuth adjustment screw on the side allows precise alignment of the cartridge for optimum channel balance and tracking.
Practical Features
A built-in fingerlift makes handling and cartridge swapping straightforward. Because each headshell material carries its own sonic character, swapping headshells is a practical way to explore different sound signatures or to accommodate a collection of cartridges set up for different musical styles or record types. The correct total mass of the headshell and cartridge combination is essential for achieving proper tonearm resonance, and the Signature Headshell Premium's 12 g weight assists in this optimisation. For anti-magnetic mounting hardware, Pro-Ject's separate Mount It accessory is recommended.
Available Finishes
The Signature Headshell is available in Black (aluminium), Carbon, Chrome (aluminium), and Wood (Oak), as well as this Premium polished version, allowing you to match the aesthetic of your turntable or explore the differing sonic characteristics of each material.
