Anyone acquainted with today´s HI-Fi equipment will recognize that a number of outstanding products come from Denmark, products which are fine examples of high technical standards and attractive styling.

MOERCH tonearms, the models DP-6 and UP-4, are such an example. To Hi-Fi circles all over the world, the name MOERCH was known for their turntable manufacturing in the sixties and seventies.

While observing correct design fundamentals, crucial parameters such as choice of materials, a new approach to mass distribution, and elimination of arm resonances required in depth study for the design of en exceptional tonearm.

This research resulted in the invention and patenting of an entirely new concept of tonearm.

The UP-4

 

The MoRCH UP-4 incorporates a special concept of the unipivot principle. The bearing consist of a hardened steel pivot resting in a concave, polished sapphire. The bearing is damped in all directions with silicone fluid. The low positioning of the bearing provides for a greater stability compared to other unipivot arms, since a considerable part of the moveable mass of the arm is positioned above the pivot point.

With the model UP-4 the azimuth adjustment is made by the way of the counterweights.

The model MoeRCH DP-6 has a unique combination of bearings. A silicone-damped, high precision ball-bearing assembly is used for the horizontal plane of motion. Two precision sapphire bearings are incorporated for the vertical mode of motion, which may be damped also, if desired, by injecting silicone fluid into a well for vertical damping. The damping of the horizontal plane of motion is independent of the damping of vertical mode of motion, and the latter can further be adjusted to all intermediate levels of damping.

In model DP-6 the azimuth adjustment for perfect channel separation is accomplished at the pivot of one of the sapphire bearings.

Supplied in CHROME- or 24 carat GOLD finish and at speciel orders also in BLACK.
The armtube plating being made without the use of magnetic materials.
