• A high-resolution product photograph of a single black earthing (ground) wire for an SME 3009 tonearm, set against a plain white background. The wire is curved into a semicircle. One end is terminated with a circular metal solder tag (eyelet connector) featuring black heat-shrink tubing for reinforcement, while the other end consists of a short length of exposed, pre-tinned copper lead ready for soldering.
  • An exploded-view technical diagram of an SME 3009 tonearm base assembly. The illustration features numerous mechanical components—including screws, washers, plates, and a screening can—labeled with numbered callouts ranging from 2 to 26. A red circle highlights callout number 20, which indicates a grounding/earthing wire with a solder tag. This wire is shown extending from the main mounting plate (26) toward the internal assembly.

SME 3009 Series II Internal Ground Wire (Part No. 3535)

Restore the electrical integrity of your classic tonearm with this premium Phono-to-Bedplate earthing wire. Specifically engineered by Perform for the SME Series II Improved (3009 and 3009/S2), this cable replaces the often-degraded original internal ground lead to eliminate hum and ensure a silent signal path.

Key Specifications

  • Brand Compatibility: Specifically for SME Tonearms
  • Model Fitment: Series II Improved (3009 & 3009/S2)
  • Reference: Item #20 in the official SME exploded view diagram
  • Condition: Brand New
  • Pack Size: 1 Wire

Enhanced Build Quality

While maintaining the original geometry for a perfect fit, the materials have been modernised for superior performance:

  • Conductor: Upgraded 24AWG stranded tinned copper for maximum conductivity and oxidation resistance.
  • Insulation: High-grade XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethene), offering significantly better durability and flexibility than standard PVC.
  • Termination: Features a precision-fitted solder tag for a secure, low-resistance connection to the bedplate.

Technical Note: This wire is essential for connecting the internal phono circuitry to the tonearm bedplate, providing the necessary grounding to prevent RFI and EM interference.
