Description

The TechDAS Air Force 10 tonearm represents the pinnacle of tonearm engineering, combining innovative vacuum hold-down and air bearing technologies originally developed for TechDAS Air Force turntables. After nearly three years of meticulous design and development, this tonearm offers an exceptionally smooth and precise motion, ensuring the faithful reproduction of even the most subtle details in vinyl records. With its cutting-edge air bearing technology, the Air Force 10 tonearm creates an unparalleled “you-are-there” listening experience, immersing you in the music like never before.

Designed with advanced materials like titanium and tungsten, the tonearm's arm tube and main body benefit from exceptional damping properties, reducing unwanted vibrations and delivering ultimate silence. This ensures that every piece of information captured by the cartridge is faithfully conveyed, resulting in audio reproduction of the highest quality. The tonearm’s horizontal movement is supported by the TechDAS Air Bearing Float System, while the vertical motion utilizes a tungsten pivot and ceramic ball bearing for superior precision.

The Air Force 10 tonearm features a hybrid two-layer structure for the arm tube and head shell, with a magnesium alloy outer layer and an inner CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) construction for added rigidity and enhanced damping. Additionally, the tonearm comes equipped with the TechDAS Vacuum Force Lift System, which lifts the arm automatically in the event of a power failure, ensuring the safety of your records. Tracking force adjustment is achieved through spring pressure dynamic balancing, and the innovative force cancellation system further minimizes distortion.

Available in both 10-inch and 12-inch lengths, the Air Force 10 tonearm is mounted on a TechDAS Helicoid Height Adjustable Mount for easy setup and optimal performance. With its DIN 5pin output connector and external air supply unit, this tonearm offers precise control over the vinyl playback experience. Weighing in at 2.3kg, the Air Force 10 is an exceptionally engineered piece of audio equipment, with a total external air supply unit weight of 14kg and dimensions of 430 x 390 x 144mm. Whether you're a seasoned audiophile or a passionate music enthusiast, the Air Force 10 tonearm delivers a level of performance that is simply unmatched.
