Origin Live’s Renown Tonearm Makes European Debut
Origin Live's turntables and tonearms will be demonstrated at High End Munich 2024, and the flagship Renown tonearm will make its European premiere.
Origin Live has many fans at StereoNET, and it is great to see the British brand finally making it to the Munich show, thanks to its German distributor, High Fidelity Studio.
The High Fidelity Studio system will include Origin Live's Conqueror tonearm mounted on the Applause Award-winning Sovereign-S turntable. Its ultra-low friction bearing can spin for three minutes with no drive. Additionally, the Sovereign-S features a high-mass sandwich plinth, a decoupled belt drive, and a multi-layer platter, all of which represent the company's design ethos. The Sovereign-S and Conqueror will play alongside a static display of three other OL decks.
One of the British company's most anticipated debuts at High End Munich 2024 is Renown, Origin Live's pinnacle of tonearm engineering. This masterpiece pushes the boundaries of tonearm design with its strikingly extended, hollowed yoke and bearing assembly, and innovative material composition and coatings of the arm tube. It features the familiar dual pivot bearing, inner/outer pillar VTA flywheel, and falling weight side bias, along with a new addition-the asymmetric Multi-Layer Counterweight. This counterweight, inspired by the concepts used on their turntables multi-layer platters and the new Strata multi-layer platter mat, employs multiple layers to reduce resonances through vibrational interference.
Furthermore, Origin Live reckons its Renown is "possibly the most elegant tonearm in the category" while making no compromises in its form-follows-function design.
The Renown ultra-high-end tonearm is available for £26,000 worldwide.
Origin Live cordially invites all High End Munich attendees to experience the craftsmanship of this family-run British company in rooms A 4.1, F126/F127. They'll be on hand to answer questions, discuss their products, and provide live demonstrations of the Renown tonearm.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
