Kuzma 4Point Tonearm
Differs from other tonearms by introducing several new and unique features. The innovative zero-play bearing is configured on four points. The 4POINT tonearm has an effective length of 280 mm (11-inch), features highly precise VTA adjustment, and fits our standard mount with a 212 mm pivot-to-spindle distance.
At the heart of this design is the unique 4-point bearing system. Two of these points—similar to a uni-pivot—manage the vertical movement of the tonearm. The other two pointed bearings control horizontal (lateral) movement. All four bearing points offer minimal friction and zero play across all planes of movement, allowing the cartridge platform—and the cartridge itself—to trace the LP grooves with extremely low resistance and minimal vibration.

“It produced an experience like listening to open-reel tape, with imaging and soundstaging stability superior to those of any arm I’ve heard, including Continuum Cobra.”
The 4POINT’s main section is firmly connected to a rigid and inert VTA tower, which allows for fine vertical tracking angle adjustments—either while the tonearm is stationary or even while the LP is playing. All this is achieved without any loss of rigidity, with zero play and adjustment precision down to 0.01 mm.
The main tube is precisely machined from a solid rod of aluminium, as with our Air Line parallel tracking tonearm. Two separate damping troughs provide independent control of vertical and horizontal resonances, allowing for a high degree of fine-tuning at any time. If preferred, these damping troughs can easily be removed.
The 4POINT uses a two-part counterweight system: a main counterweight ensures accurate initial balance after cartridge installation, while a smaller secondary weight allows extremely fine adjustment of tracking force.
Introduced in 2008, the tonearm also features a precisely engineered worm-drive azimuth adjustment mechanism for small, repeatable, and accurate settings.
Another distinctive feature is the detachable headshell. Using a small Allen key, the headshell can be completely removed from the armtube—without interrupting the internal wiring, which remains continuous from the cartridge pins onward. The hexagonal locking system ensures the same level of rigidity as a permanently bonded headshell.
The 4POINT’s internal wiring is of the highest quality, employing a special silver alloy formulation. A single, uninterrupted run of four wires connects the cartridge pins directly to the RCA connectors (overall length: 1.4 m).
Other wiring configurations are available, including Bi-wiring: two sets of wires (eight in total) run from the cartridge clips into the termination box. One set connects to the female RCA connectors, enabling the use of an alternative tonearm cable between the 4POINT’s termination box and the phono input of your preamplifier. The second set runs directly from the cartridge clips to male RCA connectors in a single uninterrupted path.
