Precisely adjustable

The Azimuth can be adjusted via the pre-mounted aluminium Headshell. The anti-skating is magnetically adjusted and fixed via an easily accessible set screw.

At the centre, the circular bearing ring can be seen, in which the tonearm tube is mounted horizontally and vertically on needle bearings. To the left is the delicate mechanism for the magnetic anti-skating with a knurled adjustment screw. Inside the ring at the bottom, the fine, coloured tonearm cables (red, green, blue) are visible.

Continuous direct wiring

The audio signal is routed without physical interruption directly from the cartridge through the entire tonearm to the phono preamplifier. This elaborate direct wiring is one of the special technical features of the Satisfy Kardan and is absolutely exceptional in this price range.
