Reed 1H

Reed 1H is the latest addition to their entry level tonearm series. For the first time, carbon fiber as primary Reed 1H’s armwand material is introduced. After a thorough research Reed found a way to make the carbon fiber armwand’s acoustic properties close to ones that normally are typical for the wood. By using soft wood to damp the carbon fiber tube, the new armwand’s acoustic properties is considerably better than carbon fiber alone, and can be compared to the wooden armwands. Reed 1H has a cardanic bearing system: vertical axis has thrust rotation bearings and horizontal axis is based on thrust pivot bearings (same concept as in Reed 3P). Such bearing construction eliminates wobbling of a bearing, which has a great impact on the quality of the sound.

Reed 1H tonearm has azimuth adjustment, replaceable headshell and VTA adjustment. Tonearm height adjustment range is from 28mm to 48 mm. It is also easily tuned and can be mounted on most turntables out of the box or using an adapter.

Tonearm signal output is either 5 pin-DIN connector or Finewire 37 cables.

Antiskating: magnetic, similar to the one used in Reed 3P.
