Damping the counterweight makes the tonearm as a whole more robust and decouples the counterweight from the tonearm reducing resonant frequencies. The tracking force is set by turning a dial directly on the tonearm bearing. Not only is this system very fast, precise and efficient, it also keeps the center of gravity directly on top of the bearing center. The spring based anti-skating can also be adjusted directly on the tonearm base.\" - Pro-Ject\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e📦COMES WITH\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epre-mounted Sumiko Rainier cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect It E RCA cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efelt platter mat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edustcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\" adaptor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15V DC \/ 0.8A power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pro-Ject","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":53447583170899,"sku":"tr-1021","price":224.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/8983\/3555\/files\/pro-ject-a2-automatic-sub-chassis-turntable2.jpg?v=1775809184","url":"https:\/\/vinylrecordcrate.com\/products\/pro-ject-automat-a2-automatic-sub-chassis-turntable","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
