The Ortofon RMG-212 tonearm was a premium option offered in the 1960’s. It was commonly used with Thorens TD-124 & Garrard 301 turntables. The counter-weight, precision ball bearing gimbal suspension, and base are made of special Swedish alloys. The arm tube is made of Duralumin and is separated from the counter-weight by special rubber damping to eliminate resonances. The counter-weight includes a factor...y set adjustable sealed stylus pressure gauge, accurately measured from 0 to 7 grams. The arm features a double bend which provides dynamic balance simultaneously in lateral as well as vertical planes thus eliminating the need for a level turntable. The unique tone arm design reduces arm resonances to a non-audible 8Hz and provides for a maximum tracking error of 1.19 degrees. The RMG-212 accepts any cartridge and is adjustable for cartridge overhang.
This tonearm accepts Ortofon type G headshells ( not included). The type G was design to accept not only Ortofon cartridges but also cartridges from other manufacturers. Ortofon arms using the type G headshell were referred to as RMG arms, to distinguish them from the RMA arms designed for the Type A headshell. The type G headshell has the most common 4-pin ‘square’ contact configuration with bayonet coupling.
Arm Length (overall): 12”Lateral Length 9 1/8”Cartridge Off-Set Angle 22.7° Tracking Error (maximum) 1.19° Tracking Force (adjustable) 0 to 7 gramsArm Resonance 8 Hz
