• The 9CC features a one-piece carbon-fibre armtube and headshell, which is designed to minimise parasitic vibrations. The conical shape of the armtube helps avoid standing wave reflections, contributing to cleaner sound reproduction.
• The tonearm uses an inverted bearing design with four ABEC7 spec ballraces, which ensures low-friction movement and precise tracking across the record groove. This design also supports smooth vertical and horizontal tracking adjustments.

• It’s designed to fit turntables or tonearm boards with a mounting hole according to the Linn standard, making it compatible with a wide range of turntables, including those from Pro-Ject or those requiring a Linn-style mount.
• The 9CC is available in versions with “flying leads” for flexible installation on various turntables or with specific connectors like the 5-pin DIN plug for Linn turntables.

• Headshell: 0.5″ (12.7mm) standard
• Mounting Distance: 212mm (platter to tonearm base, Linn standard)
• Supplied Counterweight: Suitable for cartridge weights between 6 – 10g
• Optional Counterweights: Available for cartridge weights of 3 – 6g, 5 – 8g, and 11 – 15g
• Effective Length: 9″ (230mm)
• Effective Mass: 8.5g
• Overhang: 18mm
• Weight: 250g (without counterweight)
• The tonearm’s solid armbase allows for accurate height adjustment, which is crucial for setting the vertical tracing angle (VTA). Azimuth can be easily adjusted due to the single-screw fixing of the armtube.

• The 9CC’s design efficiently leads parasitic vibrations away from the cartridge into the mounting board, enhancing cartridge performance by reducing unwanted resonances. This results in smoother, more effective sound reproduction.

In summary, the Project 9CC Tonearm is a well-regarded choice for those seeking high-quality sound reproduction from their vinyl records, with its carbon-fibre construction, precision bearings, and flexible setup options.
