The Pro-Ject Mount It is an essential cartridge mounting accessory from Pro-Ject Audio Systems, designed to make fitting a phono cartridge to a tonearm or headshell straightforward and acoustically correct. Sitting within Pro-Ject's broader range of turntable accessories and upgrade tools, the Mount It addresses a commonly overlooked aspect of turntable setup: the choice of fasteners used to secure the cartridge body.
Anti-Magnetic Construction
Conventional steel screws can introduce unwanted magnetic interaction with a cartridge's generator assembly, potentially causing interference with the coils and magnets and degrading the signal. The Mount It uses stainless steel allen screws that are anti-magnetic, ensuring no electrical interaction with the cartridge spools or magnets. This allows the cartridge to operate cleanly and with precision, free from the influence of ferrous fasteners.
Three Sizes for Universal Compatibility
Cartridge mounting hole spacing and thread depth vary between manufacturers, so a single screw size is rarely sufficient for every cartridge. The Mount It set includes three pairs of screws in 5mm, 8mm, and 12mm lengths, covering the full range of commonly encountered cartridge mounting requirements. Whether fitting a compact MM cartridge or a larger MC body, the appropriate screw size is included in the set.
Complete Toolkit
In addition to the six mounting screws and two nuts, the set includes a 2mm allen key for driving the socket-head screws and a dedicated tightening tool (spanner) for securing the nuts without risk of overtightening. A microfibre cleaning cloth is also provided for cleaning the headshell surface before installation. All items are made from stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.
