- The 12in construction with thin walled stainless steel tone-arm
takes advantage of the reduction in maximum tracking error/distortion afforded
by the greater arm length when compared with 9in models.
- S2-R Aluminum shell detachable and interchangeable without
disturbing cartridge or wiring.
- Double draw-in pin bayonet fitting design ensures a rigid
junction with the tone-arm.
- Unique headshell to tone-arm coupling readily allows cartridge
azimuth adjustment.
- Internal constrained layer damps minute residual vibrations
making tone-arm acoustically inert.
- Stainless steel cross shaft, ground and thread ground. Carried
in a substantial yoke on 10mm precision ball races.
- Stainless steel vertical shaft, ground and thread ground, with
integral 16mm diameter flange to couple shaft and yoke.
- 23mm diameter steel pillar, heat treated, ground and honed,
carries two 17mm precision ball races, widely spaced to resist tilt.
- Anti-skate control operates through Anti-Skate weight and
filament, adjustable up to 5g VTF.
- Lowering/raising control gives smooth positive action. Height of
lift can be adjusted.
- Thumbwheel (Vertical tracking angle VTA) height adjustment.
- Bedplate affords +/- 12.0mm movement to facilitate (Horizontal
tracking angle HTA) adjustment.
- Base slides on bedplate for horizontal tracking adjustment with
double null-point protractor.
- Tungsten-alloy balance weight inserts allow maximum centre of
gravity shift to balance a greater range of cartridges up to 38g in S2-R
headshell and direct plug-in heads up to 46g.
- Precise vertical tracking force up to 5g applied in 0,5g
increments via rider weight and graduated wayrod.
- Fluid damper FD-M2 is available as an optional extra.
- Alignment protractor designed to provide HTA settings with the
greatest accuracy.
- Internal wiring in LCOFC.
- Balanced Hybrid Cable 1.2M audio lead with gold plated phono
plugs.
- Effective mass: 18.0 g
- Cartridge balance range in M2-12R headshell:
38.0 g
- Cartridge balance range in plug-in heads:
46.0 g
- Vertical tracking force up to: 5.0 g
- Maximum tracking error: 0.01 degrees/mm
- Null points (inner): 66.04 mm
- Null points (outer): 120.90 mm
- Weight net: 834.0 g
