The fully mechanical automatics are engaged when you press start and the tonearm is automatically moved to the lead in groove of the record. Once playing, the automatics are completely taken out of the equation and do not affect the playback quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eULM Aluminium Tonearm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A1 features an 8.3” ultra-light-mass aluminium tonearm. Together with the Ortofon OM10, which fits this design principle perfectly, we get extraordinary fast response and detail in terms of transients and microdynamics. Tracking force and anti-skating are factory pre-adjusted which make the A1 plug \u0026amp; play ready within a few seconds. This makes it perfect for vinyl beginners and experienced listeners alike as the sound quality is carried by all the audiophile features the A1 has on offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrtofon OM10 Cartridge - Detailed Response \u0026amp; Microdynamics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA little-known fact is that the OM series of cartridges have their developmental roots and legacy in ultra-light-mass tonearm designs.
