Designer, Nigel Brown, on rear-mounted SwingWeight, “I began to wonder rather than simply changing the material from which the weight was made, how could the weight be truly decoupled and removed from the structure, and therefore have less detrimental influence on the tonal balance and detail retrieval of the tonearm.
After experimenting with many different mounting positions and materials, the SwingWeight bearing assembly attempts to remove the influence of the material that the counterweight it is made from, by acting as a filter or block between the arm structure, as it helps to stop reflection of energy that is generated in the arm structure by the cartridge and other acoustic influences.
The SwingWeight is also dynamically reactive but not unstable as it finds its equilibrium by simply the action of gravity, but as it’s controlled and defined by the bearing assembly in only one direction it will not show any instability. The bearing assembly of the SwingWeight obviously also has the advantage of weight being fixed lower, below the centre of gravity of the arm, which helps with warps and other changes in dynamic conditions.”
