M2-12R Precision Tonearm

The Model M2-12R precision tonearm is an extension of our popular Series M2 range offering optimum cartridge choice with minimal tracking error and harmonic distortion associated with a 12 inch tonearm.

Classic looks and meticulous build quality the M2-12R offers all the most important features of traditional ‘J’ shaped tonearm, detachable aluminium headshell with azimuth adjustment, two stage tungsten counterbalance system, height adjustment by thumb wheel, superb quality ball race bearings and a level of rigidity to suit all types of cartridge.

SME V-12 Magnesium Tonearm

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.
