Description
Moerch model UP-4 MkII is a high end precision tonearm built around Moerch’s unique uni-pivot design. The UP-4 MkII offers great accuracy and stability when following the grooves on your turntable.
UP-4 MkII Design
Moerch’s model UP-4 MkII tonearm has a unique uni-pivot design. The bearing, which is dampened in all directions, is made of a hardened steel pivot resting on a concave, polished sapphire. The low positioning of the bearing provides better stability because a considerable part of the moveable mass of the arm is placed above the pivot point.
Customisable Tonearm
The model UP-4 MkII uses counterweights for the azimuth adjustment to allow you to get the best level for tracking. Like all Moerch models, they also have the facility of interchangeable arm wands.
