Unipivot designs are known for their low friction and minimal constraint. While stunning when properly controlled, that freedom can introduce unwanted movement, soft bass, and azimuth instability. The TH1 addresses these challenges with Iso-Damp™: a mechanically isolated, non-contact damper that stabilizes the tonearm without adding friction or wear.
It provides smooth, controlled damping—rapidly absorbing oscillations while preserving the arm’s full mobility.
The result is tight, controlled low-frequency response and improved channel balance—without sacrificing the openness unipivots are loved for.
At the heart of the TH1 is a fully pneumatic unipivot bearing, suspended on a cushion of air with no mechanical contact.
This design eliminates friction and wear entirely, delivering effortless movement and a level of mechanical isolation that conventional bearings can't match.
With full freedom in all directions, the arm tracks with absolute stability—revealing nuance, space, and dynamics with unshakable precision.
The TH1 features adjustable internal tension, allowing you to tailor the tonearm's behavior to your system and listening preferences. This unique mechanism fine-tunes how the structure responds to energy—shaping its interaction with cartridge vibration and resonance.
Whether you're after sharper transients, greater control, or a more fluid presentation, the TH1 gives you the ability to tune the sonic character to your liking.
