This headshell has an SME bayonet mount (also known as the H-4 universal bayonet). This is the world’s most widely used standard for turntables with an S-shaped or J-shaped tonearm.
It fits directly onto hundreds of models from well-known brands. Here are the main categories:
1. DJ and Hi-Fi turntables (Direct Drive)
This connection type has become legendary thanks to the Technics SL-1200 series and is now the standard on virtually every modern DJ turntable:
• Technics: All models from the SL-1200 / SL-1210 series (MK2, MK5, GR, etc.), as well as older hi-fi models like the SL-1300, SL-1500 and SL-1900.
• Pioneer: Modern models such as the Pioneer DJ PLX-1000 and PLX-500.
• Audio-Technica: The popular AT-LP120, AT-LP140XP and AT-LP5 series.
• Reloop / Numark / Stanton: Almost all DJ models from these brands (e.g. Reloop RP-7000, Stanton ST.150).
2. Vintage HiFi turntables (1970s and 1980s)
Do you own a classic Japanese or European turntable with a curved (S-shaped) tonearm? Then this almost always fits:
• Pioneer: Vintage classics such as the PL-12D, PL-112D, PL-512 and many others.
• Sony, Kenwood, JVC, Sansui: Almost every model from the vinyl boom era with a removable headshell.
• Marantz: Models such as the 6100, 6200 or Marantz 6350.
• Lenco: Vintage models such as the L75 and L78 (provided they are equipped with an S-shaped arm).
Where does it NOT fit?
• Straight tonearms: Turntables with a straight, pencil-thin arm (as found on many modern Pro-Ject, Rega or Thorens players) often use a fixed headshell or a completely different, thinner bayonet connection (such as ADC or the specific straight-arm fittings of Denon/Dual).
• T4P / P-Mount: These are systems where the cartridge clips directly into the arm without screws (many compact players from the 80s).
How do you check it?
If the end of your tonearm has a round opening with four small metal contact points on the inside and a threaded ring (collar) on the outside, then you screw this headshell in like this.
