The Ortofon OM Q.BERT ON SH4 Black Headshell Premounted combines a specialised scratch cartridge with the SH-4 Black headshell. This configuration simplifies mounting and replacement on compatible S-shaped tonearms. The cartridge delivers an ultra high 11 mV output at 1 kHz and 5 cm/sec. Therefore, it provides a strong signal for suitable DJ phono equipment and mixing systems. The 22 dB channel separation also maintains clear distinction between stereo channels. Furthermore, Ortofon designed the OM Q.Bert specifically for scratch performance. Its spherical stylus uses an 18 μm tip radius for reliable groove contact. The cartridge also achieves 90 μm tracking ability at 315 Hz, supporting demanding vinyl techniques. The low wear characteristics help support repeated DJ use while maintaining dependable groove tracking. Meanwhile, the recommended tracking force reaches 3 g within a 2–4 g operating range. This setup gives DJs a defined starting point for configuring their tonearm. The universal mount fits a wide range of S-shaped tonearms, making installation straightforward. Additionally, the cartridge weighs 5 g before considering the attached headshell. Its 20° tracking angle matches the specified cartridge design and operating configuration. The Ortofon OM Q.BERT ON SH4 Black Headshell Premounted also uses 12 μm/mN dynamic lateral compliance for its suspension characteristics. Its 1,680 Ohm internal impedance supports the specified electrical configuration. Moreover, the recommended load resistance measures 47 kOhm for compatible phono inputs. The cartridge uses 920 mH internal inductance and supports 200–400 pF load capacitance. For continued performance, Ortofon specifies the Stylus Q.Bert as the replacement stylus. Overall, this premounted configuration combines convenient installation with scratch-focused tracking and powerful output.

Delivery Exclusions

PLEASE NOTE:

Some products are exceptionally large, heavy or bulky and require specialist freight services. This typically includes items such as large PA speakers, dual 15″ speaker cabinets, dual 18″ subwoofers, flight cases and other oversized or very heavy equipment.

We work hard to keep our prices as competitive as possible and, in most cases, delivery is completely covered by our standard shipping rates. However, for certain oversized items being delivered to regional or outlying areas, the actual courier cost can be significantly higher than standard deliveries. This is also owing to factors completely outside of our control (petrol costs and rising costs of delivery by courier partners)

If this applies to your order, we will always contact you before dispatch to discuss the available options. These may include:

Proceeding with a small additional freight contribution.
Collecting the order from one of our suppliers or a nearby courier depot where available.
Cancelling the order for a full refund if a suitable solution cannot be reached.

Please be assured that we only request an additional freight contribution in exceptional circumstances where the courier cost is substantially higher than normal. Our goal is always to deliver your order at the advertised price whenever possible.

If you’re unsure whether an item may be affected, you’re welcome to contact us before placing your order and we’ll gladly provide a delivery estimate.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support!
