Origin Live ZEPHYR Mk5 Tonearm 
 
The Zephyr is a considerable advance on the Silver arm. A stiffer arm tube and higher-grade materials in the yoke and arm base improve the definition and impact of notes, particularly in the bass which is tighter, lower and weightier than the silver. However, all aspects of the music are improved by a more sophisticated costly approach to each component.
 
FEATURES >>>>>>>>>>>>
 
Arm Tube
is a high-grade aircraft alloy to reduce the effect of resonance. This has the enormous benefit of allowing your cartridge to function correctly without unwanted movements caused by resonance.
 
Superior Yoke design
encompassing higher grade material and precision tolerancing for the fit of bearings. This results in an incredibly transparent arm with superb tonal balance. Finally, the yoke is mirror polished and finished in chrome.
 
Bearings
are highly researched and purpose made to our specifications.
 
Materials Throughout the Arm
are upgraded from the Silver with superior and more costly to machine alloys.
 
A High Strength Rear-stub
improves counterweight stability in vibration – thus enabling the arm tube to hold the cartridge more steadily. The result is an increase in dynamics and a sense of power and control in the bass.
 
Integral VTA Adjuster
consisting of a threaded top nut above the arm-board and clamping nut underneath the arm-board.

“After my time spent with the Origin Live Zephyr, it slots in as one of my favourite tonearms: both for how good it sounds and how well it communicates the artistic meaning of music. Very very highly recommended.”
Stereo Times
 
“This combination offers a very consistent sound from low bass to upper treble and makes fine music that is always enjoyable.”

Origin Live arms can fit most decks thanks to 4 length options and mounting adaptors.
 
For Rega arm mounts (221mm effective length arms)
– Origin Live arms have a threaded base mounting that fits all arm-boards designed for Rega arms. This is literally a fuss-free drop-in replacement with no modifications needed, regardless of whether the Rega arm has a threaded base or 3 point mounting.
 
For Linn style arm mounts (211mm effective length arms)
– We offer predrilled arm-boards for fitting our standard arms (221mm effective length) to the Linn LP12. Alternatively, we offer our arms with Linn geometry (211mm effective length) and Linn style 3 bolt base mount. This allows our arms to work as a simple drop-in replacement for all Linn arms and those which follow this geometry.
 
For SME arm mounts 
– you can fit our bolt-on SME adaptor which means the arm can be fitted to any SME arm-board.
