UP – 4
UP – 4
The Morch UP-4 features a unipivot suspension design, which means that a single bearing is responsible for movement in both planes. This design minimizes resistance and vibration originating from the bearing system. The bearing shaft is made of hardened steel, while the concave-lens-shaped bearing cup is made of polished sapphire. In the UP-4, the bearing is positioned lower than in other designs of this type.Thanks to this design, most of the moving mass is located above the pivot point, increasing the stability of the entire system. Silicone, which is injected into the tonearm chamber, is used to dampen vibrations. Morch tonearms feature interchangeable tubes. This design allows you to adjust the tonearm’s effective mass to match your cartridge. It also allows you to change the effective length to 9 or 12 inches.
