Leson Voyager Headshell

From R&D to Reality:

The Voyager Headshell

Built on a year of R&D, the Voyager Headshell refines the classic Technics design to meet the exacting standards of modern audiophiles.

Precision-machined from AZ31B magnesium blocks and featuring azimuth adjustment, this innovative headshell sits 1.5mm lower than the original, delivering a streamlined profile, superior performance, and effortless setup for your cherished turntable.

Benefits for Your System

Enhanced Channel Separation

Fine-tune azimuth for precise stylus-to-groove contact, delivering superior stereo imaging and detail.

Optimized Vertical Tracking Angle

A platform that’s 1.5mm lower than typical Technics headshells means no shims or additional mat for achieving the perfect VTA.

Improved Stylus Control

The carefully positioned fingerlift at the rear lets you cue the stylus accurately while keeping one hand on the turntable for added stability.

Voyager Headshell Features

Azimuth Adjustment

Fine-tune azimuth to ensure the stylus contacts the record groove at the ideal angle, maximizing channel separation and minimizing tracking errors.

Refined Headshell Platform

Optimized for Precise VTA Adjustment

The Voyager Headshell is designed with a 1.5mm lower platform than the original Technics headshell, addressing the common issue of excessive height. This improved geometry ensures you can achieve the correct Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA) without the need for additional shims or thicker platter mats. Additionally, the Voyager features a longer platform, enabling new overhang possibilities for precise alignment with specific alignment geometries, such as Löfgren A (Baerwald).

Lightweight & Rigid
Weighing just 7.5 grams (without wires), the Voyager strikes the perfect balance between strength, stiffness, and mass, all crucial for accurate sound reproduction.

Optimized Fingerlift Placement

Reduced Vibrations
Based on the results of the resonance simulations, the fingerlift has been strategically placed at the back of the headshell to position it in the zone with the lowest vibrational impact.

Enhanced Ergonomics
The back placement of the fingerlift makes it more convenient to cue the stylus precisely, keeping one hand on the deck for stability and control.

Complete the Mechanical Interface

The Headshell Washer is a practical upgrade for the Voyager Headshell and other bayonet-mount headshells. It improves the interface between headshell and tonearm through better centering, stability, and vibration control.

Machined from solid brass with a tapered profile for a secure fit, it is a simple way to refine the setup further.
