Product Information
The Origin Live Onyx Mk4 tonearm might be the company’s most basic design, but it’s packed with engineering talent and ability well beyond its price.
Single piece arm tube for rigid cartridge support
The crucial job for any tonearm is to support the cartridge as rigidly as possible – while also allowing for friction-free travel across the record. By using a one-piece, aluminium arm tube, that’s exactly what the Onyx achieves. The aircraft grade alloy provides a stiff and stable support for your cartridge, holding it steady and isolating it from resonance. The result is a tighter bass response and crisper dynamics.
Low friction bearings
Using quality bearings in both horizontal and vertical axis, the Onyx delivers smooth, low friction movement across the record. The bearings are fitted within a superior yoke design, with a precision fit that ensures minimal slack and a tight, well-focused sound.
Precision adjustments
Featuring VTA (height) adjustment, the Onyx fits a wide range of turntables and cartridges. Using a falling weight side bias adjustment, the Onyx achieves a constant anti-skating force, with lower resonance than alternative designs.
High quality cabling – inside and out
Internally, the Onyx uses high-grade copper Litz wire. Cryogenically frozen to reduce discontinuities in the conductors, it helps improve the music’s transparency and detail. From the tonearm to your amp, the external cable offers low resistance and a high level of shielding for smooth continuation of the sound.
Get the ideal support for your mid-range turntable and cartridge, with the Origin Live Onyx Mk4.
