About the Schroeder #2

The Schroeder #2 Tonearm is a high-quality, handcrafted tonearm made in Germany, designed as a more accessible option compared to the Reference and CB series. It utilizes the same magnet and bearing technology as the Reference series, offering a unique magnet/string bearing system that allows for adjustable damping and precise tracking. The arm is available with arm wands up to 10 inches in length, and can be specified in materials such as Pertinax or Carbon Fiber, with optional VTF (Vertical Tracking Force) fine-tuning. The design emphasizes ease of adjustment for VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle), VTF, azimuth, bias, offset, and overhang. The effective mass is approximately 14g, depending on the cartridge mounting plate, which can be changed for lighter or heavier plates to match different cartridges. The tonearm is suitable for a wide range of cartridges and is praised for its neutral balance and low friction.
