Its surface robust, durable and rust and corrosion resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe removable design allows for accurate, off-turn- table mounting and alignment of the phono cartridge, a valuable safety and accuracy feature which has been a signature of all Phantom tonearms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use a superlative precision thread system which allows you to fix the wand perfectly to the pivot bearing block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are three arm wands available, in 9, 10, and 12-inch lengths to suit any conceivable turntable\u003cbr\u003einstallation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eSmooth tracking\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe patented MagneglideTM stabilizing system ensures pivoting in a true vertical plane, with no azimuth deviation as the arm traverses warps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the arm is also in true neutral balance again the result of magnetic stabilization controlling azimuth in an unipivot arm the tracking force will be consistent, regardless of arm motion over warps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe internal wiring of the entire tonearm uses a silver plated copper litz-based construction which ensures a better conductivity and less friction due to higher flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signal transfer is whip-fast, and not impeded by the typical insulation materials that absorb and re-introduce energy into the wire at unpredictable intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLikewise, the cable to the phono preamp (available at extra cost), although more robust, retains the same high speed transfer properties of the internal wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eAlignment\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly with the Graham alignment tools you can in- stall the cartridge correctly. Most tonearms are installed with the wrong spindle to pivot distance and have therefore the wrong overhang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly our cartridge tool allows you to align the cartridge from the top, so the orientation is on the cantilever and not on the cartridge housing. This is important, as the cantilever is not mounted straight into the housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eVertical tracking force\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VTF tower allows you to precisely set the VTA setting in a second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is especially important as many records have a different height and need a different VTA setting, or you want to play records with different angles on purpose to adopt the sound to a maximum according the angle of the diamond\/cantilever and the angle how the record was cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique setting tower allows you to adjust the setting during playback. A level instrument gives\u003cbr\u003eyou on top the perfect and clear information about the position of the arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eCounterweight\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike other designs where the counterweight\/arm resonance can be in the audio range, and which\u003cbr\u003ecan result in modulation of the playback signal, the counterweight of the Phantom III SE is decoupled at a low, subsonic resonant frequency; this results in cleaner and more dynamic bass extension, and smooth, detailed midrange, with extended, crystalline highs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of this is achieved with practically no sonic signature of the arm itself, such as false base emphasis or bright highs, and instead is allowing the phono cartridge to work effortlessly in reproducing the music itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eType : Unipivot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eEffective length\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e235 mm (9)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e246,8 mm (10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e308,8 mm (12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eDistance spindle to pivot\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e217,4 mm (9)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e230,1 mm (10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e295,6 mm (12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eOverhang\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17,6 mm (9)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16,7 mm (10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13,2 mm (12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArm base mount : SME (standard)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCartridge weight : 5-18 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutput terminal : DIN 5 pin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTonearm weight : 1100 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Graham Engineering","offers":[{"title":"9\" Arm","offer_id":52739830677770,"sku":"GRAHAMENGI-1367","price":11990.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10\" Arm","offer_id":52739830710538,"sku":"GRAHAMENGI-1368","price":12590.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" Arm","offer_id":52739830743306,"sku":"GRAHAMENGI-1369","price":13190.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/graham-engineering-phantom-iii-se-2025-tonearm-46342-p_8aff1812-4a63-4b74-b8ba-f135d28ea5a2.jpg?v=1773933466","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/grah-eng-phantiiise","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
