“The AXIOM is the result of my more than 30 years of intimate research and preoccupation with analog playback – the interaction of the record groove with the cartridge and tonearm specifically.”
– D.D. Brakemeier/Designer
The AXIOM is a 12” pivot tonearm featuring double nano-gimbal bearings. It can be operated in static balanced, full dynamic balanced (with specific cartridges only) and hybrid balanced mode. The AXIOM is a full lateral balanced design.
The AXIOM features an unique compound arm wand – a combination of surface hardened Titanium and Carbon fiber pipes blocked together and internally damped by an all new design concept. A concept newer before applied in tonearm design. Resulting in unmatched fast energy transfer and total absence of any para- sitic resonances in the tonearm itself.
The AXIOM was designed to explore the possibilities of analog playback to the utmost degree. To accomplish the best possible analog playback performance, the AXIOM offers an unique complete bundle of alignment options.
