General description
The Kuzma 4Point 9 tonearm is similar in construction to the 4Point tonearm with the same 4 point
bearing configuration.
We made this tonearm shorter ( 9 inch) than the existing arm 4Point ( 11 inch) and lighter by
omitting the VTA tower enabling 4Point tonearm quality to be experienced on a greater number of
turntables with smaller footprint or lighter suspension, etc.
The heart of the bearing construction is a unique 4 point bearing. The first set of two points (similar
to a double unipivot bearing) allows vertical movement. The second set of two points allows
horizontal movement. All four points have minimal starting and moving friction and zero play in all
playing directions thus ensuring that headshell with the cartridge itself moves precisely and with
minimal vibration across the record. It would be normal to feel slack in the bearings in certain
directions.
The main tube is constructed and machined from solid aluminium, similar to our tangential Air Line
arm. The counterweight with lock mechanism balances the tonearm. Azimuth can be adjusted in
small repeatable increments with zero play, by means of an Allen key.
A feature of the tonearm is a unique detachable headshell. The electrical connection is via standard
clips but the headshell can be simply removed by unscrewing with an Allen key. The headshell is
fixed with a precise hexagonal locking system giving the same rigidity as with a fixed headshell.
The tonearm is fixed on the turntable arm board via the Kuzma arm base. VTA is adjusted by raising
or lowering the tonearm’s pillar in the arm base by a VTA screw which controls its height, thus still
allowing precise VTA changes when required.
Internal wiring is of superior special alloy silver wires. A set of 4 wires runs unbroken from the
cartridge pins via a 1.5 m long tonearm cable with silver RCA bullet connectors.
