This is one set NOS Brand New SME V12 - 24K Gold Plated Tonearm.
GOOD FOR COLLECTION.
Magnesium Tone-arm
Based on the multi-award winning Series V pick-up arm, the Series V-12 incorporates the same design and engineering that have made SME a byword for excellence. Coherent musical control is held over the entire frequency range in terms of tonal quality, stability and stereo imaging. Startling dynamic range, neutrality, structurally inert, the Series V-12 embodies every worthwhile feature in a pick-up arm.
* The 12 inch tone-arm is pressure die-cast in magnesium complete with an Integrated headshell to eliminate tone-arm resonances in the audio spectrum and offers a 27% reduction in maximum angular error distortion over 9 inch models. Listening: the benefits of minimal tracking error and harmonic distortion are clearly revealed.
*The 12in pressure die-cast tone-arm utilises the advantages of magnesium and exploits the reduction in maximum tracking error/distortion afforded by the greater arm length when compared with 9in models.
*Internal constrained layer damps minute residual vibration leaving the tone-arm acoustically inert.
*Fine machined cartridge platform, enamel free to avoid interface resonance.
*Stainless steel cross shaft, ground and thread ground. Carried in massive yoke on 10mm precision ball races. Axes at record mean level to minimise warp-wow.
*Dynamic balance. Graduated vertical tracking force control applies up to 3.0g x 0.125g VTF through resonance controlled spring.
*Stainless steel vertical shaft, ground and thread ground, with integral 16mm flange to couple shaft and yoke.
*23mm steel pillar, heat treated, ground and honed, carries two 17mm precision ball races, widely spaced to resist tilt.
*Anti-skate control operates through tension spring and filament. Dial corresponds with VTF and has a positive OFF position.
*Lowering/raising control gives smooth positive action. Height of lift can be adjusted.
*Subsonic lateral-mode damper can be instantly adjusted or cancelled.
*Dual-lock base provides movement control with high rigidity.
*Tungsten-alloy balance carried on two-point suspension. Extra-low inertia design assists warp riding.
*Underslung weight housing corrects centre of gravity and provides non-reflective tone-arm termination.
*Swiveling, damped output socket minimises vibration transmission in sub-chassis use.
*Fine adjustment of horizontal tracking angle (HTA).
*Reference lines on tone-arm facilitate VTA setting.
*Fine adjustment of horizontal tracking angle (HTA).
*Alignment protractor designed to provide HTA setting with greater accuracy.
*Advanced jig/template system guarantees correct positioning.
