200408: 4Point tonearm comes with a single set of wires, same as 4P9 and 4P14. Optional is possible to order other wiring options: XLR, RCA female box, and biwring,...Lemo. 190101: 4Point bearing modification: Officialy from Jan 1st, 2019 As standard we now fit into all 4Point tonearms sapphire/ruby bearing cups instead of polished steel cups. This lowers friction and noise levels in bearings thus improving performance. All 4P11 ( from S/N 280509 and higher) and 4P14 (from S/N 310101 and higher ) since July 1st, 2018 are ALREADY fitted with sapphire/ruby cups. 180101: Standard wiring for 4Point (called also 4Point single in the past) is a single set of wires to RCA. Biwiring or termination RCA box is optional. Differs from other tonearms by introducing several new and unique features. The new zero-play bearing is configured on 4 points. The 4POINT tonearm has an effective length of 280mm (11 inches), a very precise VTA adjustment facility, and fits our standard mount with a 212mm pivot-to-spindle distance. The heart of this new design is the unique 4-point bearing. Two points (which are similar to a uni-pivot bearing) allow and control vertical movements of the tonearm. The other set of two pointed bearings allows and controls horizontal (lateral) movements of the tonearm. All four points of the bearing have minimal friction and zero play in all planes of movement, thus ensuring that the cartridge platform and the cartridge itself follow the grooves of an LP with extremely low friction and minimal vibrations. 4POINT’s main section is firmly connected to a very rigid and inert VTA tower which provides the option of fine adjustments of the vertical tracking angle either when the tonearm is stationary or while the LP is playing. All this, of course, without any loss of rigidity and with 0.01mm accuracy of adjustment and zero-play! The main tube is accurately machined out of a solid rod of aluminum as in our Air Line parallel tracking tonearm. Two separate troughs offer independent damping of vertical and horizontal resonances allowing a very high degree of fine adjustment and tuning at all times. If so desired, damping troughs can be easily detached from the tonearm. 4POINT’s arm balancing solution consists of two counterweights – the main weight allows an accurate overall balance once the cartridge has been installed, while the second, smaller weight provides extremely fine further adjustment for total tracking force accuracy. Introduced: 2008 Azimuth is adjustable by a precise worm drive mechanism allowing very small, repeatable adjustments. A detachable headshell is another distinctive feature of this superior tonearm. Using a small Allen key, one can completely remove the headshell from the arm tube while the arm wiring including cartridge pins remains uninterrupted in its single run. Our headshell is fixed with a hexagonal locking system which provides the same degree of rigidity as if the headshell was permanently bonded to the arm tube. 4POINT’s internal wiring is of the highest quality using a special alloy silver formulation. A single, uninterrupted set of 4 wires runs from the cartridge pins to the RCA connectors (overall length 1.4m). Other wiring options are possible including Biwring: two sets of wires( 8 in total) runs simultaneously from the cartridge clips into the termination box and one set connects to the female RCA connectors, allowing the use of an alternative tonearm cable between the termination box on the 4POINT and a phono input on your preamplifier. The second set runs directly from cartridge clips to male RCA connectors in one uninterrupted way.
