AXIOM Tonearm

Advanced materials - combined with high-tech production and finishing methods as well as unique solutions.

Features:

The AXIOM is entirely designed, manufactured, and assembled in Germany.

Each AXIOM is assembled, tested, and calibrated by the designer.

All parts of the AXIOM - even the screws, internal wiring, and its custom aluminum carrying case - are made in Germany.

The AXIOM is a fully dynamically balanced design.

The AXIOM is a fully laterally balanced design.

Axial/radial double cardan bearings, using custom-made German nano-grade aerospace quality instrument ball bearings with the lowest possible friction today.

Bearings are mounted in a certified laboratory under controlled clean room conditions, and the bearing housing is preheated to ensure perfect bearing fit after cooling.

Mounting plate, bearing housings, external and internal VTA tower, and fixed mounting of headshell are made of triple-tempered AP70XX aircraft-grade aluminum and stress-relieved V2a stainless steel.

Mounting plate is tempered stainless steel.

The counterweight assembly is made from German HD18 tungsten.

The arm wand is a unique composite of titanium and carbon with liquid damping on the inner surface.

Internal wiring is made of pure silver litz with soft Teflon insulation (other options available upon request and customer directive).

The AXIOM follows an entirely new geometric design.

The AXIOM is an efficient 12" length design.

The mounting distance of the AXIOM is the same as that of most standard 9"-10" tonearms.

Special Notes:

- The AXIOM Anniversary features micrometer adjustment for: VTA (tower height), anti-skating, magnetic contactless fine VTF adjustment.

- The AXIOM XL/SME features micrometer adjustment for: VTA (tower height), anti-skating, magnetic contactless fine VTF adjustment. Additionally, it also allows azimuth and overhang adjustment on the SME-EIA adapter.
