LM Series

Entry

The entry into the analog universe of SAT — developed alongside the CF1 and sharing its geometry, bearings and philosophy. The LM is built from a carefully chosen grade of carbon fibre that carries the same SAT character within closer reach — finished to the same exacting standard. These arms look and feel as good as they sound.

CF1 Series

Reference

A milestone of pickup-arm engineering — designed from the ground up with special grades of carbon fibre, bespoke laminates and a unique tube geometry for unprecedented stiffness. Conceived as a precision transcription device to retrieve every detail with minimal distortion.

CF1-TiXD1 owners

The titanium evolution — a titanium tube in combination with the carbon-fibre armtube and a titanium headshell frame. Reserved for owners of the XD1.
