Audio-Technica AT-HS6 Universal Headshell

Universal ½-Inch Mount • 4-Pin Cartridge Compatibility • 9g Aluminum Construction • Integrated Finger Lift • Color-Coded Lead Wires • Mounting Hardware Included

Lightweight Universal Headshell for ½-Inch-Mount Phono Cartridges

The Audio-Technica AT-HS6 Universal Headshell provides a lightweight, straightforward solution for installing compatible 4-pin phono cartridges on turntables that use a standard removable headshell connection. Its die-cast aluminum body weighs just 9 grams including the supplied lead wires, helping keep unnecessary tonearm mass and vibration to a minimum while providing a rigid platform for cartridge mounting.

An integrated finger lift makes manual cueing and stylus placement easier, while the color-coded lead wires simplify cartridge installation and channel identification. The AT-HS6 accepts standard ½-inch-mount cartridges and includes multiple mounting screws, nuts and washers for installation. Black and silver finishes allow it to complement a wide variety of Audio-Technica and other compatible turntables.

Highlights & Benefits

  • Universal ½-Inch Cartridge Mount — Designed for compatible 4-pin turntable cartridges using the widely adopted ½-inch mounting standard.
  • Ultra-Lightweight 9g Design — Die-cast aluminum construction keeps mass low while providing a rigid mounting platform for the cartridge.
  • Integrated Finger Lift — Makes manual cueing and precise stylus placement easier and more controlled.
  • Color-Coded Lead Wires — Simplifies cartridge wiring by clearly identifying the appropriate left, right and ground connections.
  • Mounting Hardware Included — Supplied screws, nuts and washers provide the essential hardware needed for installing compatible cartridges.

Technology & Design

Die-Cast Aluminum Construction — The AT-HS6 uses lightweight aluminum to provide rigidity without unnecessarily increasing effective tonearm mass, while also helping minimize unwanted vibration.

Standard ½-Inch Cartridge Interface — The headshell is designed for conventional 4-pin phono cartridges that use the standard ½-inch mounting arrangement, providing broad cartridge-selection flexibility.

Color-Coded Signal Leads — Preinstalled cartridge leads simplify hookup between the cartridge output pins and the headshell connection while reducing setup confusion during cartridge changes.

Removable Headshell Convenience — On compatible tonearms, keeping multiple cartridges mounted on separate headshells can make it faster to change cartridge types without repeatedly removing mounting hardware from the cartridge body.
