It features high-grade bearings, which ensure accurate playback by significantly reducing friction. The tonearm's distinctive S-shaped curve and its flexible copper internal wiring are designed for smooth and unrestricted movement, thereby enabling exceptional record tracking and audio fidelity.
With a 214 mm mounting distance and a 23.75-degree offset angle, the AS-212R has been optimised to capture every nuance of your audio with minimal distortion. Moreover, this tonearm is constructed from a high-grade aluminium alloy, providing both outstanding rigidity and durability.
The AS-212R's effective seven-gram arm mass is compatible with a broad selection of cartridges, ranging from 18 to 38 grams. Its adjustable height and brass-made universal connector make transitioning between headshells and cartridges simple. Additionally, the inclusion of a 5-pol DIN socket will expand your connectivity options, allowing for integration with a variety of tonearm cables. This makes the AS-212R a perfect choice for vinyl lovers with unique listening needs.
