Moerch UP-4 Tonearm

The Model UP-4 incorporates a special concept within the uni-pivot principle. The bearing consist of a hardened steel pivot resting in a concave, polished sapphire. The bearing is damped in all directions with silicone fluid. The low positioning of the bearing provides for a greater stability compared to other uni-pivot arms, since a considerable part of the moveable mass of the arm is positioned above the pivot point.

With the model UP-4 the azimuth adjustment is made by the way of the counterweights.

As with all Moerch tonearms the UP-4 tonearm has the facility of interchangeable arm wands.

Construction: Radial arm with interchangeable arm tubes.
Bearing principle: DP-6 and DP-8: Dual bearing
UP-4: Unipivot.

Terminals: All terminals throughout the arm are gold plated.
Bearing concept of model DP-6 and DP-8: One internally damped, precision ball-bearing assembly for the horizontal plane of motion. Two pivoted sapphire bearings for the vertical mode of motion which can be damped also, if desired, and then adjusted to different levels of damping.
Bearing concept of model UP-4: Hardened steel pivot resting on a concave sapphire, and damped for all motions with silicone fluid.
DP-6 and DP-8 finish: 24 carat GOLD or CHROME.
UP-4 finish: CHROME or at special order GOLD.
