Unveiled

Our rigid bearing architecture has been passed down from the Nexus to achieve realistic sonic images carved in the soundscape, astonishing your senses with a sound you can virtually touch.

Altus employs an thick walled aluminium arm tube to make sure the cartridge is held securely above the record and aid transmission of vibration away from the cartridge, so your music is unveiled.

"an all-time arm bargain"
- Chris Beeching

The same Bias compensation mechanism found on the Nexus counteracts variable forces, thus avoiding tracking issues, undue record wear and maintaining your musical enjoyment. 

Our purpose designed low capacitance external phono cable reassuringly clicks into place using an superior right angled DIN connector and terminated with high quality gold plated RCA plugs.
