HS-18 Headstages

Buffered 18 channel headstage with shielded Litz wire tether and Omnetics µDB37 connector.

For use with Harlan 4 Drives. Tether wires are soldered directly to circuit board to eliminate the mass of an additional connector. Unlike the HS-16, the HS-18 has differential stim channels and references.


  • Options of shielded Litz wire tether with µDB37 connector or Cooner tether with MDR50 connector, see product options.
  • Tracking LEDs optional, see product options.
  • 3m standard tether length, custom lengths available.
Sold Separately:
  • Custom tether lengths
    From 0.5 to 7 meters.
