The Ortofon AS-212R, with Japaese custom-made high-precision bearings offers extensive compatability and adjustability designed to elevate your listening experience.

Ortofon has been designing tonearms since 1953, and these latest models continue the tradition with names inspired by their legendary predecessors. The AS-212R (9”) and AS-309R (12”) are named after the distance between the tonearm pivot point and the turntable spindle. Both models are height-adjustable, making them compatible with a wide range of turntable models.

The Ortofon Reference Tonearms are statically balanced and come with an easy-to-adjust anti-skate dial. Featuring a 5-pin DIN tonearm socket, they offer simple cable upgrades and flexibility for broader system connections, making them easy to integrate into an existing vinyl setup.

Each AS-212R and AS-309R comes with a high-quality 6NX-TSW-1010 5P > RCA tonearm cable and two counterweight options. This allows for a versatile setup, making it easy to pair with various systems and cartridges straight out of the box. Finished to exacting standards and designed with an elegant minimalist style, Ortofon’s Reference Tonearms are crafted to elevate your vinyl listening experience to new heights.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
