Tonearms — Reed Reed 2B 10,5"

The Reed 2B 10.5" is a unipivot tonearm from Reed, a Lithuanian manufacturer known for meticulous, hand-built tonearm engineering, built with a wide cartridge balance range. The Reed 2B 10.5" brings Reed's considered unipivot design philosophy to this specific effective length.

Key specs that matter

The unipivot bearing design uses a single-point pivot for low-friction, free-moving tracking. Cartridge balance range is under 35g, a wide accommodation for a broad variety of cartridge weights. Offset angle is 20.7 degrees, with overhang at 15.4mm - figures matching the closely related 3P 10.5" model.

Sound and use context

Expect the free, responsive tracking character unipivot bearing designs are broadly known for, with the wide sub-35g cartridge balance range accommodating a broad variety of cartridge weights without requiring auxiliary weights.

Pairing

The sub-35g cartridge balance range accommodates a broad variety of cartridge weights directly, and buyers should confirm mounting compatibility with their specific turntable directly with Reed.

Alternatives

Reed's own Reed 2B 9.5" offers a shorter effective length alternative within the same broader 2B family, worth comparing directly to find the right Reed tonearm length for a specific turntable.
