Stability and Long Life. The shaft is pressed into 2.250 inch round, 1.000
inch thick solid brass. Them that is bolted into the platter so NO traveling
noise will get to the record.

The Gold Mongoose Tonearm
First in the audio World, Precision Remote Control VTA SRA
* The Gold Mongoose has
proprietary amount of 24k gold plated giving the arm a magnificent sound! Each
arm is sound tested for a true note pitch, A440 this is the difference in the
music.
Pitch Perfect!
* It took Science and Geometry and out of the BOX THINKING to design the
Mongoose Tonearm.
* The Gold Mongoose Tonearm is unmatched in stability. Has a 2" wide yoke from
bearing to bearing.
* Special proprietary bearings.
* Wired with Analogue Artisan's exclusive proprietary 99.99% Purity Silver wire.
* The Mongoose is designed with Zero Vector Forces, when moving VTA .
* Azimuth adjust at the rear of the arm wand.
* The Mongoose has Ultra Fine end stub movement ,one touch tracking force
adjustment. .005 of a gram
* 3 Other Half Moon Heavy Weight sizes are included.
Designed for cartridge weights of 6 gm up to 16 gm.
* You also get a special designed Indicator arm wand. This allows you to
indicate from Arm pod to the top of the platter. Analogue Artisan is a Master
Tool Maker. Making custom tooling
* The Total movement of the arm pod VTA is .650
So if the arm is parallel in the middle of POD you can move up .325 and Down
.325.
One degree on 12 inch arm is .209 Thousands
* The Gold Mongoose Tonearm is uniquely designed like no other tonearm. The Gold
Mongoose Tonearm has zero tracking force (Zero Vector Forces ) when moving the
VTA. That is what gives Analogue Artisan the ability to design a Arm pod that
moves VTA / SRA with Remote Control giving you, in real time on the fly
movement.
* How you ask? Science and Geometry. There is another force that’s rarely talked
about and that is the vector force. This is the rotation of the platter, the
down force of the cartridge and the placement of the pivot point. When you have
the pivot point above the platter your tonearm gets pushed up. Tracking force is
lost in the groove. With the Mongooses Geometry there is no loss of tracking
force. Square wave design.
* Neutral balance means no zeroing of the tonearm. Mongoose doesn’t have a
"see-sawing" affect. The Mongoose Tonearm always tracks in the perfect place in
the vinyl. Now you will hear the right spatial ques, the right placement , space
, depth, and air between the instruments.
* The Effective Mass of the Mongoose arm is designed for Med and Low Compliance
cartridges.
* To check Frequency Response use the HiFi Test Record.
* Analogue Artisan has the devolved the tooling to get the Effective Length
precise.
The tooling comes with the tonearm and arm pod.
Effective Length and the Over hang must be correct.
* The main Effective Length is 12.000" × 25.4 = / 304.8mm
Mongoose Effective Length
304.8mm = 12.000 inches
parameter Baerwald IEC 1964
pivot to spindle (mm) 291.4
effective length (mm) 304.8
overhang (mm) 13.4
*
Stevenson - a variation on Löfgren geometry optimized for low distortion at the
inner groove at the expense of increased distortion elsewhere. compared to
Baerwald or Löfgren B you will get lower distortion for the last few mm of the
record
*
Baerwald (identical to Löfgren A) - minimizes and equalizes distortion at the
three weighted tracking error peaks resulting in moderate distortion between the
inner and outer grooves
*
Löfgren B - minimizes distortion between the inner and outer grooves resulting
in the lowest average RMS distortion at the expense of slightly higher
distortion close to the inner and outer grooves
