Unless the pick-up arm holds the latter against even the minutest movement at audio frequencies the signal will be modified in some way. Reproduction can only be true therefore when all movement representing groove modulation is made by the armature to which the stylus cantilever is attached and none by the stator represented by the cartridge body. All cartridges employ relative motion between armature and stator portions of a generating system to produce the signal output. The functioning of a pick-up arm appears simple but is in fact very complex.
It escapes the ‘LP’ sound and demonstrates that structural resonances in pick-up arms are responsible for much that makes vinyl records readily discernible from master tapes. The work took almost four years and the measure of its success is the acceptance of the Series V precision pick-up arm by technical experts and users as one of the world’s truly great audio products.Series V sound has an almost startling dynamic range and neutrality enabling high levels to be enjoyed. SME engineers, recognising the potential of the latest complementary equipment, accepted the challenge to design and build a pick-up arm which unlike others in existence would make no detectable sound contribution of its own.

- more infoĪ larger version of our well known Model 30/2, it will accept nine, ten and twelve inch arms but is especially directed at the exciting Series V-12. There are no critical adjustments or setting up procedures. With its many original design features the Model 30/2 is a unique turntable. It will accept nine, ten and twelve-inch arms but is especially. Precision turntable A larger and more massive version of our well known Model 20/2. This finely engineered precision turntable is built to the same exacting standard and incorporates many design features originated for the Model. The SME Model 10 precision turntable is built to exacting engineering standards providing reliability and freedom from critical adjustments.
