SAEC WE-712 Long-Arm Tonearm Featuring a Double Knife-Edge Bearing Mechanism
Product details
The WE-712 is the long-arm version of SAEC’s new-generation WE-709 double knife-edge tonearm. To create a tonearm suited to modern analogue playback systems, SAEC completely re-examined every fundamental aspect of its design, construction and materials.
The reduced offset angle made possible by its long-arm design minimises tracking error and ensures stable playback.
Originally developed for the WE-709, the newly designed double knife-edge bearing mechanism features larger-diameter knife edges and redesigned bearing seats, achieving even greater sensitivity and rigidity.
The inside-force cancelling—or anti-skating—mechanism also adopts an entirely new construction, reconsidered from the perspective of vibration control.
The WE-712 provides precise and stable tracking performance. It transmits, without loss, the minute musical signals retrieved by the phono cartridge from the record’s microgrooves, bringing the music engraved in the grooves vividly to life.
