Does the SME 309 necessitate use of a 90-degree DIN plug, or can a straight DIN plug also be used? Is the wiring and DIN pin configuration standard, or is there anything unique to SME here?
The SME 309 doesn't require a 90 degree din. Your turntable might for clearance reasons. I have a SME 20/2 and SME IV.Vi (similar arm) using a straight din. I actually prefer the straight in my setup...
90 degree DIN on most of the turntable arm board. SME includes 90 degree DIN. SME uses standard pin out/configuration for RCA plug terminated. I'm not sure about the XLR/Balanced connector version(I have not used it). On some of the turntable arm board, you maybe able to get away with straight DIN if there is enough wiggle room.
