FZ Reference Tone Arm

The FZ is the ultimate expression of F·X technology. FZ's measurements go into the noise floor, giving it a true "zero resonance" signature. It is a passive arm with two unique engineering twists. Where competing designs have effective masses of over 60g - buying neutrality at the cost of cartridge compatibility - FZ achieves its result whilst retaining a sensible 18g effective mass, remaining broadly compatible with virtually all cartridges. FZ also incorporates REER (Rear End Energy Rejection): a unique system that blocks vibrations from the deck and outside world, leaving the cartridge entirely free to do its job. Another truly unique product from Funk. 9" version only.With a resonance measurement into the noise floor, FZ delivers a true “Zero resonance” signature. Funk’s FZ is the ultimate expression of Funk’s F•X technology.

FZ comes with two unique engineering twists. The first concerns compatibility. Where competing designs have effective masses of over 60g - buying neutrality at the cost of cartridge compatibility - FZ achieves its result whilst retaining a sensible 18g effective mass, remaining broadly compatible with virtually all cartridges. Additionally, buying this compatibility comes at eye-watering prices. FZ also incorporates REER (Rear End Energy Rejection): a unique system that blocks vibrations from the deck and outside world, leaving the cartridge entirely free to do its job. Another truly unique product from Funk.

Key details

• Zero resonance signature - measurements go into the noise floor
• REER (Rear End Energy Rejection): blocks deck and environmental vibrations from reaching the cartridge
• 18g effective mass: sensible and broadly compatible with virtually all cartridges
• Competing designs sacrifice compatibility with masses over 60g - FZ does not
• Available in either LIN or REGA Trajectories
