The Acoustand 12″ tonearm has been improved. And now comes with SME fit adjustable base as standard. Also, Litz 30 AWG Pure single wire from socket to socket. And a Japanese engineered ‘Matsushita’ head-shell socket. Pricing reflects these changes and the slight increase in material costs.

12″ Tonearm

The Acoustand tonearm is a high quality static balanced design. And available in 12 inches and finished to the highest standard. Also, the tonearm, is a no-fuss, easy to operate unit. And designed to incorporate a socket for removable head-shell. Also, for easy cartridge changes using the common H4 type socket. And used by many manufacturers such as SME, Technics and others.

The tonearm uses high quality deep groove bearings for pivotal movement. And the main pillar bearing is all SME. Also, the Interconnects supplied by the ROCK DOC. A super quality OFC cable and fits to the tonearm above the arm panel. And avoids any possible restriction, and  rubbing. Also, there is an adjustable anti-skate mechanism, and high quality machined manual arm raiser.

The Acoustand tonearm comes in its own dedicated flight case for safe transportation. And utilises a one piece foam damped polished aluminium arm-tube. Also, you have the choice of ceramic coating in any colour.
A mounting pattern uses SME type fitting with adjustable sliding base. Which is for ultimate adjustability and precise distance. Also, we can offer the ‘Jelco’ mountain base.

Counter weights

There are four counterweights included in the package. And with different combinations can be used for a multitude of cartridge weights. Also, including a special weight for SPU-G cartridges up to 40 grams.
