Audio Technica AT6006R Tonearm Safety Raiser
Almost all the good quality turntables we sell are completely manual which means the stylus keeps going around in the lead out groove until you lift up the tonearm and return it to its rest. What if you could get something to raise the tonearm automatically at the end of the record so you can fall asleep on the couch and know you won't wake up to that annoying scratchy lead out groove sound? Well, the Safety Raiser could be just what the vinyl doctor ordered.
Designed to mount on a manual turntable, the AT6006R Safety Raiser automatically lifts the tonearm at the end of a record, protecting the stylus from damage. The raiser is equipped with a highly sensitive release antenna and a hydraulic lift with rubber lift bar, ensuring safe, smooth and dependable operation. Height adjustment knob and included spacers allow the raiser to be used with a wide variety of turntables with different tonearm heights.
Most of the Rega and Project turntables we sell are prime candidates for the Safety Raiser as well as Audio Technica's own AT-LP7.
About Audio Technica
Inspired by the depth of emotion he witnessed at vinyl listening sessions organised during his tenure at the Bridgestone Museum of Arts in Tokyo, Hideo Matsushita was determined to enable more people to experience the warmth of analogue listening. In a small Shinjuku apartment, he established Audio Technica and began developing cartridges. His first two products, the AT-1 and AT-3, achieved success and enabled Hideo to expand his business. He opened a larger headquarters in Machida, where the company still operates today.
