About the Series M2-9R

The SME M2-9R precision tonearm, developed by popular demand, embodies SME's renowned engineering excellence in a compact 9-inch design (pivot-to-stylus: 233.20mm). Built for enthusiasts, it includes a lightweight stainless steel tonearm tube, S2-R aluminum detachable headshell with double draw-pin bayonet fitting for rigidity, silver Litz internal wiring, and constrained layer damping for acoustic inertness. Key features encompass vertical and horizontal tracking adjustments, azimuth adjustment, thumbwheel VTA height adjustment, anti-skate via weight and filament (up to 5g VTF), and tungsten-alloy balance weights in satin chromed brass sleeves. The bearing system utilizes precision ball races: 10mm horizontal, 17mm vertical (widely spaced on 23mm steel pillar), and 16mm vertical flange. It supports a wide range of cartridges and turntables, with 1.2m balanced hybrid audio lead featuring gold-plated RCA phono connectors and independent ground.[1][7][14]
