Vertere Reference Tonearm - Generation III
Pairs well with
The Vertere Reference Tonearm Gen III is a high-end component designed to improve the performance of record playing systems through bespoke components and a unique bearing design. The split geometry and counterweight assembly ensure accurate tracking and life-like dynamics, while the custom-built lift/lower mechanism and transit clamping system provide secure transportation and precise cueing.
Vertere - Reference Tonearm Generation III
Vertere Reference Tonearm Gen III is a true state-of-the-art component, which can transform the performance of high-end record playing systems. The Vertere Reference Tonearm has been created to push the boundaries of analogue reproduction by systematically addressing every aspect of tonearm performance. Each individual component is bespoke and has been specifically designed to complement the overall philosophy, design and purpose of the Vertere Reference Tonearm.
The unique bearing design of the Vertere reference Tonearm provides a noise-free and a stiction-free operation of the tonearm. This achieved by utilising microns thick metal/polymer laminate film acting as the bearing. With this unique configuration there are no rotating or sliding components in the bearings. The arm tube and the head shell are both made of titanium and tight tolerance fitted to each other. Titanium has a property to fuse weld with such tight tolerances making the head-shell and the tube effectively one piece. This maximises rigidity to weight ratio and provides the optimum support for the cartridge.
Vertere Reference Tonearm has unique split geometry, where in vertical direction the arm has a longer effective length than that in the horizontal direction. This split geometry ensures that the cartridge can track very low frequencies cut in mono as well as the higher stereo frequencies with absolutely integrity. The counter weight assembly is fully articulated to regulate tracking weight when the record is warped – even with slightest of up and down movements of the tonearm. Every note is played with life-like dynamics and clarity.
Counterweight sleeve & tungsten carbide weight insert
The reference tonearm comes with a second tungsten carbide loaded counterweight to accommodate much heavier cartridges than standard. This heavier counterweight also has extra screw‐on end caps to further increase the weight if required.
Dial plate
When it comes to attention to detail the Vertere reference tonearm gets into every minutiae.
From illuminated Anti‐skate dial and logos to the proprietary lift/lower mechanism and mounting plate every component is custom‐built for this formidable tonearm.
Horizontal motion bearing assembly & pillar sleeve
As the cartridge tracks the record it also has to move the tonearm, side to side and up and down. It does this in order to position itself, as closely as possible, on the mean line of the groove. Failure to do this accurately will result in loss and distortion of the musical signal the cartridge is to extract.
To assist the cartridge in this cumbersome task, the reference tonearm utilises a unique bearing design both in the horizontal and vertical planes. Using several hundreds of microns-thick Kevlar threads provides silent, ultra‐low friction movement of the arm without any stiction.
Why Reference Tonearm Gen III ?
-
The unique vertical and horizontal pivoting motion is provided by non-rotating fine Kevlar fibre. The result is the first truly ‘noiseless’ and stiction-free tonearm bearing.
-
The main counterweight is articulated in the vertical and horizontal planes through precision ball race bearings. To ensure accurate tracking even on warped records.
-
For ideal rigidity, the arm tube & head shell are machined from solid titanium then fuse welded to form a homogenous component.
-
Horizontal & Vertical bearings are offset by 23mm to optimise tracking accuracy and information retrieval.
-
Anti-skate force is applied using microns thick non-resonant, frictionless silicone polymer strip with gradual magnetic compensator.
-
Unique Transit Clamping System allows secure transportation keeping the arm/cartridge safe and perfectly setup. In addition, the UTCS ensures exact performance after shipment and reinstallation. The use of the clamp also assists with mounting the cartridge safely and precisely.
-
Custom built lift/lower mechanism, precision engineered to ensure smooth, firm & accurate cueing.
