Reed 3P is acknowledged not only by its high quality sound, but also for it's distinctive design. Such bearing system is as rigid as gimbal, but its friction coefficient is as low as in unipivot.Īgain, if you are bored with this technical talk, it is enough to know that in Reed 3P you can setup most of the tonearm's parameters (VTA, azimuth, antiskating) on the fly, and due to the very sensitive bearing system you will not miss the slightest music tones. However, major difference from unipivot system is that instead of a single pivot three pivots and both vertical and horizontal axis' magnetic stabilizers are used. Although tonearm bearing system can be considered as gimbal, it acts like unipivot one. Magnetic antiskating and some other features, used in Reed 3P, were developed in our Reed Mag prototype model*, which made its first appearance in Analog Forum 2011 Krefeld, Germany.Īnother 3Ps innovation is its bearing system. An exciting thing about the azimuth adjuster is that during the adjustment process the cartridge "swings" around the needle tip, hence keeping all other tonearm parameters intact (you can see how it works by watching a short video). SpecificationsĮffective length 9.5’’, 10.5’’, 12’’ inchĮffective mass From 14g to 22g, depending on armwand and headshell materialĪmong other features, like fine VTA adjustment on-the-fly, this Reed tonearm also has a unique possibility of adjusting azimuth while playing a record. Calibrated laser add-on, used in this tonearm version, allows user to adjust VTA and azimuth quickly and precisely. Laser-enabled Reed 2G version continues tradition of Reed 3Q and helps audio enthusiasts to set up their systems using latest technology. Tonearm’s antiskating is magnetic and is similar to one used in Reed 3P tonearm. Reed 2G can be wired with Finewire C37 cable or have a 5-pin DIN connector for a custom cabling solution. For connecting the armwand and tonearm body, high quality LEMO connector is used.Īs well as all our tonearms, Reed 2G has replaceable headshells. Replaceable armwand feature allows you to change tonearm effective length and effective mass with no hassle. Such bearing construction eliminates bearing wobbling, which has a great impact to the quality of the sound.Īll Reed 2G tonearms have unique azimuth adjustment system, which allows implementing a tonearm with replaceable armwand.
Tonearm has cardanic bearing system: vertical axis has thrust rotation bearings and horizontal axis is based on thrust pivot bearings (a bit close to Reed 3P). Reed 2G is very easily adjusted and can be mounted to virtually any turntable with or without an adapter.Īs other our tonearms, Reed 2G features 0.2 mm precision VTA adjustment and tonearm’s height can be adjusted from 28 mm to 48 mm.
Reed's latest tonearm model, which merges the best features of Reed 2A and Reed 3Q tonearms and adds a few new ones. Innovative bearing system - mix of gimbal and unipivot principle. Reed 3P tonearm also features unique bearing setup, which allows listener to enjoy the slightest music tones.įine VTA adjustment on-the-fly (inherited from Reed 2P) An exciting thing about the azimuth adjuster is that during the adjustment process the cartridge "swings" around the needle tip, hence keeping all other tonearm parameters intact. Its innovative technical design enables changing major tonearm parameters - VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle), cartridge azimuth and antiskating - on-the-fly, i.e. Usage of traditional materials - wood, stainless steel and aluminum - and joining them into one piece of precisely crafted product creates unique visual experience. A modern classic example of comeback of vinyl trend.
