Angled DIN Pin orientation:
This option is only relevant if you choose to have your cable fitted with an angled tonearm connector. If you use a straight tonearm connector simply leave it to the default option
Not all tonearms have their pins rotated to the same direction. The pin orientation of your tonearm socket and the tonearm connector will determine the direction towards which the cable will exit the tonearm/turntable. By default all of our angled tonearm connectors are configured using “option 1” orientation as shown in the images, which is the most common. The choice depends on how the pins of your tonearm socket are rotated.
Option 1 is the default option for the vast majority of tonearms and tonearm cables.
Option 2 (180deg.) is the second most frequent option. It is typically used on Jelco tonearms but also on some Audioquest, Audiomods, Fidelity Research and Roskan models.
Option 3 is quite rare but it is often used on some SME tonearms when there is the need for the cable to be routed downwards.
Option 4 is the least common and it is typically used on Graham tonearms.
It is always advised to check your tonearm and see how its output pins are rotated so that you can choose the best option according your set up and cable “dressing” preferences.
