Unlike the unique magnetic bearing principle for which Schr\u00f6der holds several worldwide patents, the CB (Captive Bearing) series of arms feature hybrid ceramic bearings of unprecedented low friction (2mg vertical, 3.5mg horizontal). This is the lowest measured friction of any traditional bearing arm. With internal magnetic damping in the horizontal plane, the CB Tonearm has a calibrated center post to allow repeatable adjustment of VTA, adjustable azimuth and different headshell plates to allow adjustment of effective mass to couple with a wide range of cartridges.<\/p>

One of the major influences in the sound reproduction of vinyl play back is mechanical vibration. After all, tonearms are basically mechanical devices. The CB tonearm is designed with defined physical zones within its infrastructure that focus vibrations away from key areas. It rejects vibrations conducted through the mounting plate that originate from other turntable components such as the motor, plinth, bearing, and airborne vibrations by diverting them away from the critical path.<\/p>

The premise is to integrate a stiff, balanced mass structural coupling to the chassis. This effectively eliminates external excitation by generating equal forces to all sides of the arm, maintaining the dynamic stability of the system and preventing a deflection of the cantilever.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

  • Mounting Hole size – 24mm – 25mm aluminum collar fixed with with M6 size Metric Screw<\/p><\/li>

  • Neutral balance tonearm, this means no change in VTF when altering VTA or record thickness. Internal magnetic damping for the horizontal movement<\/p><\/li>

  • Effective mass 16.5 grams with supplied cartridge plate, 18 grams with Certal cartridge plate and 22gms with Brass cartridge plate.<\/p><\/li>

  • Shaft diameter: 23mm Distance between mounting surface and platter level: ~25-60mm, best:~30-35mm<\/p><\/li>

  • Ceramic hybrid bearings with unprecedented low friction: < 2mg vertically, < 3,5mg horizontally<\/p><\/li>

  • Internal magnetic damping for the horizontal movement<\/p><\/li>

    Schr\u00f6der CB-toonarmen zijn mechanische kunstwerkjes. Ze zijn makkelijk in te stellen, nauwkeurig en werken met elk naaldelement. Het geluid wordt niet be\u00efnvloed door de arm, wat zorgt voor de mooiste vinylweergave met bijna elk naaldelement. Klankkleuren, texturen en dynamiek in de opname blijven volledig behouden. Dit is de best klinkende toonarm die we ooit hebben gebruikt!<\/p>\n
