The 12″ Trio / 9″ Allegro aluminium tonearm with cotton fiber internal damping tonearm is a “hybrid uni-pivot” design. It is full of high end features, but still simple to set up.
Rather than a “needle” point commonly used, the Consonance Trio 12″ / Allegro 9″ tonearm features a proprietary low friction brass bearing in the horizontal mode and “pre-loaded stainless” in the vertical. It has precision machined cups encapsulating 4x tapered shafts in a gimbal fashion to control vibration and resonance in both vertical and horizontal motion whilst allowing secure tracking with even the most demanding of recordings.
The aluminum tonearm tube is terminated in a low mass head-shell, anti-skate is achieved by a rod and rider weight, providing a constantly gentle anti-skate across the whole surface of the recording.
