EMT  TONEARMS

EMT 2023 Tonearm Line

HI VERSION | PROFESSIONAL VERSION

​

​

THE NEW LINE MODELS - SUMMARY

 

The new tonearms are available as 9 inch and 12 inch versions. Both versions come with either fixed head shell (HI version), or with EMT connection for the EMT Tondose cartridge line (aka the PROFESSIONAL version).

​

 

KEY FEATURES

 

All tonearm models feature :

 

• A magnetic anti- skating device and a ring for VTA adjustment.

• A tonearm-lift is included with the product and can be removed if the tonearm is used on old EMT turntables with built-in lifting device.

• The tracking geometry was optimized to reflect EMT's latest technological advancements

• But all mounting properties remain unchanged.

 

 

KEY INNOVATIONS

 

THE BEARINGS

• For both the horizontal and vertical bearing axes, the EMT tonearms feature a unique ball bearing technology.

• The highly integrated and rigid mechanism is made of hardened and polished steel parts, combined with customized rubber components.

• This reliable EMT technology innovation compensates for any geometric deviation along the bearing axis caused by positional tolerance, tightening of torque, and environmental influences such as temperature and humidity.

• As a result, the bearings remain free of tension and run with lowest friction values during their entire life cycle.

 

THE COUNTERWEIGHT

• The counterweight is connected to the armtube by two decoupling PTFE bushings.

• It features a spring-loaded mechanism to allow backlash-free positioning along the adjustment range.

• An engraved scale can be turned to the zero position when the tonearm is in the neutral balance state.

• This allows precise setting of the vertical tracking force, even if you don’t have a tonearm scale at hand.

​

MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION

• Each EMT tonearm consist of 150 individual parts.

• All structural parts are machined from solid material in highest precision.

• We use stainless steel for the base-parts and aluminum-alloy for all movable parts.

• A specific alloy called “German silver” is used for all parts that are exposed to mechanical abrasion, such as the rear shaft or the connector for the Tondose.

• We have invested in novel and elaborate tooling in order to enhance to new levels the precision of machining, and the assembly of the armtube's component parts.

• So, without false modesty, we can now claim to offer the most precise tonearms with curved arm-tubes available on the world market.
