Pickup arm · Entry

LM.

The entry into the analog universe of SAT — developed alongside the CF1 and sharing its geometry, bearings and philosophy. The carbon fibre is a different grade, but the layup and design are developed in-house to the same standard — bringing the SAT character within closer reach, finished as exquisitely as the rest of the range. These arms look and feel as good as they sound.

SAT LM tonearm by Swedish Analog Technologies
/ 01 — Composite

Tailored laminate layup

Carbon-fibre / epoxy laminates layup designed in-house, unique to each model and length, for the stiffness the arm needs.

/ 02 — Structure

Aluminium-alloy yoke

A cardanic main yoke in aluminium alloy with ultra stiff bearings — the same proven geometry as the CF1, executed for the entry tier.

/ 03 — Setup

Fully adjustable

Azimuth, VTA/SRA on-the-fly, overhang, VTF and constant-torque anti-skate — with a detachable headshell for quick cartridge swaps.

The lineage

Born of the original SAT Pickup Arm.

The LM carries the knowledge of the original SAT Pickup Arm — the arm that established the geometry, the bearing philosophy and the obsession with stiffness that define every arm since. Rather than a simplified version of its bigger siblings, it is that original thinking, matured.

It then advances it: the new proprietary vertical bearing brings high stiffness with no stiction at all, and every surface receives the same exquisite refinement as the reference arms — machining, sanding and finishing carried to a visual standard as striking as the way it sounds.
