The Tri-Planar Mk VII (U2 Classic) is a 250 mm (approximately 9.8-inch) tonearm with a dual-pivot avionic gimbal-bearing design, 11 g effective mass, and a fixed headshell. It provides adjustment of VTA, azimuth, tracking force, overhang, and anti-skate, along with a coaxially damped composite armwand and adjustable silicone-fluid trough damping. Its three-point mounting system avoids the need for a large VTA slot. The arm is manufactured in the USA and is designed for precise, low-coloration analog playback.
