Tonearms — Reed REED 3P 12"

The REED 3P 12" is a unipivot tonearm from Reed, sharing the 12-inch effective-length geometry of the brand's 2G series. The REED 3P 12" brings Reed's more accomplished current 3P-series engineering to this specific effective-length configuration.

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 Reed's 2-series 12-inch models. Offset angle is 17.6 degrees, with overhang at 13.4mm.

Sound and use context

Expect the free, responsive tracking character unipivot bearing designs are broadly known for, delivered here within Reed's more accomplished current 3P-series engineering sharing geometry with the brand's 2-series 12-inch models.

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 3P 9.5" offers a more compact alternative within the same broader 3P series.
