The Ortofon STYLUS ARKIV Replacement stylus provides a dedicated replacement for vinyl-to-digital transcription applications. It supports accurate playback while preserving detailed musical information. Designed for the Arkiv cartridge, this replacement stylus uses a Special Elliptical profile. Consequently, it delivers detailed groove tracing and an extended high-frequency response. The design suits sampling, transcription, and professional recording workflows where accurate reproduction matters. Furthermore, it provides clear sound with strong stereo imaging across the recorded programme. The stylus delivers a 6 mV output at 1 kHz and 5 cm/sec. Its 23 dB channel separation supports precise stereo information during playback. Additionally, the frequency response reaches from 20 Hz through 20 kHz within ±2 dB. The Special Elliptical stylus uses a 13/25 μm tip radius for detailed groove contact. Meanwhile, its 80 μm tracking ability supports stable performance at 315 Hz. Users can set the tracking force between 2.0 and 4.0 g for compatible setups. Ortofon recommends 3.0 g for the Arkiv stylus during normal operation. The 20° tracking angle supports the cartridge’s intended playback geometry. Its 9 μm/mN dynamic lateral compliance complements the stylus design for controlled groove tracking. The stylus also features 750 Ohm internal resistance and 450 mH internal inductance. Moreover, it supports a recommended 47 kOhm load resistance and 200-600 pF capacitance. As a result, the Ortofon STYLUS ARKIV Replacement stylus offers a practical way to maintain Arkiv cartridge performance. Replace the stylus while retaining the cartridge system for continued transcription and sampling work. Therefore, it helps restore the cartridge’s intended sound quality without replacing the complete cartridge assembly. This approach also supports consistent workflow results when users regularly archive vinyl recordings into digital formats.

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!
