Key Features & Innovations
Automatic end-of-side tonearm lifting — the Audio-Technica AT6006R Safety Raiser For Turntables triggers automatically when the tonearm contacts the micro-trip antenna in the record's lead-out groove, gently raising the needle off spinning vinyl.
Hydraulically damped lift mechanism — utilizes a precision silicone fluid-damped piston to ensure smooth, controlled, and silent tonearm elevation without bounce or mechanical shock.
Extensive height adaptability — includes two stackable base height spacers (14 mm and 12 mm) alongside an internal height adjustment screw, providing compatibility with a wide range of tonearms and platter elevations.
Adjustable release sensitivity — allows fine-tuning of the trigger mechanism’s responsiveness to suit various tonearm geometries and tracking force configurations.
Non-invasive plinth installation — installs securely to the turntable top plate using specialized industrial double-sided adhesive tape without requiring drilling or permanent modification.
FAQ — Audio-Technica AT6006R Safety Raiser For Turntables
How does the AT6006R trigger when the record side ends?
As the tonearm enters the record's inner run-out groove, the arm wand makes gentle contact with the fine trip-wire antenna on the Audio-Technica AT6006R Safety Raiser For Turntables. This releases the internal latch, allowing the fluid-damped piston to rise smoothly and elevate the tonearm.
Will the AT6006R work on any manual turntable?
The raiser is compatible with most manual turntables that have sufficient clearance between the tonearm base, the platter edge, and the cueing lever. Because of its modular spacers and height adjustment screw, it accommodates tonearm heights between 27 mm and 39 mm above the plinth surface.
Does the safety raiser automatically return the tonearm to its rest?
No. It functions as an auto-lift mechanism rather than an auto-return system. It lifts the stylus safely off the revolving record surface, leaving the arm elevated above the platter until you manually return it to the arm rest and reset the raiser piston.
How do you reset the raiser for the next playback session?
You simply press the top of the fluid lift cylinder back down with your finger until it clicks into its locked downward position.
