REED 1H
- Positioning: The entry-level tonearm designed for basic performance and simplicity.
- Description: Offers a straightforward design aimed at users with modest budgets and small-room setups, providing standard manual adjustments and reliable operation. Compared to higher models, it lacks the advanced bearing systems or digital calibration features seen in the 2G, 2B, 3P, and 5T.
REED 2G
- Positioning: A mid-range tonearm that focuses on versatile adjustability and compatibility.
- Description: Combines a precise VTA adjustment, cardanic bearing design, and the option for a laser add-on that enhances calibration compared to the basic 1H. While its design improves on entry-level performance, it still does not offer the independent on-the-fly adjustments or advanced tracking found in the higher-tier 3P or the tangential tracking of the 5T.
REED 2B
- Positioning: A newer tonearm model that delivers enhanced assembly and improved cartridge support.
- Description: Stands out by being fully assembled and enabling support for heavier cartridges up to 35 grams with low‐friction ceramic bearings and independent anti-skating adjustments. Although it builds on the 2G's features by addressing cartridge variability and offering ease of use, it remains less adjustable in real time than the 3P and does not integrate the advanced tracking technology of the 5T.
REED 3P
- Positioning: A premium tonearm recognized for its flexible, on-the-fly adjustments and award-winning design.
- Description: Introduces real-time VTA, azimuth, and magnetic antiskating adjustments with a unique bearing system that minimizes friction compared to the simpler systems in the 2G and 2B. While it offers dynamic, live calibration during playback that surpasses the 1H, its design is still outclassed by the tangential tracking and laser-controlled operation of the 5T.
REED 5T
- Positioning: A high-end tonearm featuring state-of-the-art tangential tracking and digital sensor control.
- Description: Uses an advanced design based on Thales' theorem with a limited rotation sectional torque motor and laser-based control system that delivers exceptionally low tracking error and precise adjustment. Compared to the other models, its tracking technology, replaceable armwand for mass customization, and low moment of inertia position it as the flagship product.
