Tonearms — European Audio Team (EAT) C-Note 9"

The C-Note 9" is a unipivot tonearm from European Audio Team (EAT), sitting alongside the C-NOTE 12" within the brand's catalogue at a more conventional 9-inch effective length. The C-Note 9" brings EAT's considered unipivot design philosophy to this widely compatible geometry.

Key specs that matter

The unipivot bearing design uses a single-point pivot for low-friction, free-moving tracking. Effective mass is 14.8g, a moderate figure suited to a wide range of cartridge compliance. Effective length is 230mm. Offset angle is 24 degrees, with overhang at 18mm.

Sound and use context

Expect the free, responsive tracking character unipivot bearing designs are broadly known for, at this conventional 9-inch effective length suiting a broader range of turntables than EAT's longer 12-inch model can accommodate.

Pairing

The conventional 9-inch effective length suits a wide range of standard turntables without requiring specialised mounting.

Alternatives

EAT's own C-NOTE 12" offers a longer effective length alternative within the same broader catalogue, worth comparing directly for buyers whose turntable can accommodate a longer geometry.
