Begali Signature Edition Key

The Begali Signature Edition Key embodies the experience gained with the Magnetic Classic and the Magnetic Professional paddles, and it incorporates improvements that were suggested by customers. It was designed to be one of the finest paddles using a "classic" architecture with right-angle arms and magnetic return.

The Signature features the same heavy base used in other Begali paddles, which is available in a few different base finishes, each with a gold colored bearing block. The precision bearings are specially selected and matched, which exceed the standards that are usually applied for laboratory instruments. They are concealed in the base and bearing block for a clean visual design. The friction springs for the contact gap adjustments are hidden inside the contact posts. The cable connection is made through a 3.5mm TRS jack (1/8 inch stereo) at the back of the base, so no unsightly cables are dangling when the key is disconnected.

The Signature uses magnets with a keying action that has distinct advantages, especially for those who prefer a light touch with close spacing. Since the moving magnets are imbedded in micro-threaded tubes they can be adjusted with utmost precision and maintain their setting over a wide range of temperature variation. The magnets on the arms are mounted close to the pivot which keeps the effective moving mass low and allows a responsiveness at high speeds unique to magnetic paddles. For the same reason the arms are made of a black anodized aircraft alloy that is exceptionally light but rigid.

Each Signature Edition is inspected to make sure that it meets Pietro Begali’s exacting standards, and it comes with a signed certificate of authenticity that also records the manufacturing date; each paddle has a serial number engraved in the base. Once you have experienced the Begali Signature Key in operation, you will surely join the ranks of many enthusiastic Begali customers.
