[Overview]
Unlock the ultimate potential of your SME 3009 Series II Improved tonearm and unleash the power of heavyweight cartridges.

While the original SME 1902HWR heavyweight covers a range of 20.5g to 28.5g, this expertly engineered Custom 160g Heavyweight Counterweight extends your setup compatibility to a massive 18.5g to 33.0g. This wide range makes it fully compatible with legendary heavy cartridges such as the Ortofon SPU series, which were previously difficult to balance on an Improved arm.

Crafted with meticulous precision, this weight combines the mass needed for heavy tracking with ingenious adjustment markers for effortless calibration.

[Key Features & Precision Engineering]
Extended Cartridge Range: Accommodates ultra-heavy cartridge and headshell combinations from 18.5g up to 33.0g, opening the door to Ortofon SPU and other masterclass MC cartridges.
Micro-Adjustment Tracking System: Precision-calibrated so that every 1 and 1/3 rotations (4 marker increments) equals exactly 1g of tracking force adjustment (0.25g per single marker). Fully compatible with sub-weight systems for heavy tracking requirements.
Authentic Brass Construction: Machined from solid brass—the industry-standard tonearm material—and finished with an elegant silver-gray hammer-tone coating that matches vintage aesthetics.
Custom Craftsmanship: Designed specifically for the SME 3009 Series II Improved shaft profile for secure, stable balance and resonance control.
