Tonearms — Reed REED 2G 12"

The REED 2G 12" is a unipivot tonearm from Reed, sitting within the brand's 2G series, sharing effective-length configuration and geometry with the REED 2B 12" Wenge. The REED 2G 12" brings Reed's considered unipivot design philosophy to this specific effective-length position.

Key specs that matter

The unipivot bearing design uses a single-point pivot for low-friction, free-moving tracking. Effective length offers three configurable options - 12, 14 or 18 inches, matching the REED 2B 12" Wenge. Offset angle is 17.6 degrees, with overhang at 13.4mm, also matching.

Sound and use context

Expect the free, responsive tracking character unipivot bearing designs are broadly known for, combined with Reed's characteristic considered wood-bodied tonearm construction, sharing core geometry with the brand's 2B series.

Pairing

Buyers should confirm exact cartridge-balance compatibility directly with Reed given the flexible multi-length geometry this model offers.

Alternatives

Reed's own REED 2G 10.5" and REED 2G 9.5" offer alternatives at different effective lengths within the same broader 2G series.
