SME Series M2- 9R

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

BUILD

• S2-R Aluminium shell detachable and interchangeable without disturbing cartridge or wiring.
• Double draw-in pin bayonet fitting design ensures a rigid junction with the tone-arm.
• Stainless steel ground horizontal spindle carried in substantial yoke in lOmm diameter precision ball race bearings.
• Stainless steel ground vertical spindle with integral 16mm diameter flange to couple the spindle with the yoke.
• The 23mm diameter steel pillar is heat treated, ground, internally honed and carries two 17mm diameter precision ball race bearings widely spaced to resist tilt.
• Internal wiring is Silver Litz.

DAMPING

• Internal constrained layer damps minute residual vibrations making the tone-arm acoustically inert.

ADJUSTMENTS

• Unique headshell to tone-arm coupling readily allows cartridge azimuth adjustment.
• The Anti-Skate control operates through an Anti-Skate weight and filament and is adjustable for up to 5g of cartridge vertical tracking force (VTF).
• The lowering/raising control gives a smooth positive action and allows for the lifting height of the cartridge above the record to be adjusted.
• Tungsten-alloy balance weight inserts allow for 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 is applied in 0.5 increments via the rider weight and graduated wayrod.
• Thumbwheel cartridge vertical tracking angle (VTA), height adjustment.
• Bedplate affords +/- 12.0mm movement to facilitate horizontal tracking angle (HTA) adjustment.
