Preparation for use
Tonearm balance and tracking force
In order for the cartridge to pick up sound correctly from the record’s
grooves, the tonearm’s balance and tracking force must be adjusted
to fit the specifications of the cartridge. If the tonearm’s balance and
tracking force are not properly adjusted, the record or the cartridge’s
stylus may become damaged.
Do not drag the cartridge’s stylus across the record or platter when
adjusting the tonearm’s balance or tracking force. Doing so may
damage the stylus.
Setting tonearm balance
1. Remove the cartridge's protector.
2. While lightly holding the headshell to prevent the tonearm from
moving, unlatch the clamp.
The tonearm is tilted because the balance has yet to be adjusted.
3. While still lightly holding the headshell, turn the counterweight to
adjust the tonearm’s balance.
Adjust the balance so that the tonearm is level when you release the
headshell.
4. Return the tonearm to the tonearm rest and latch the clamp.
Setting tracking force
1. While supporting the counterweight so that it does not move,
turn the tracking force gauge ring so that its “0” position lines up
with the centerline on the back of the tonearm.
The tracking force is not adjusted simply by turning the tracking force
gauge ring.
2. Turn the counterweight and the tracking force gauge ring
together counterclockwise (to the left) until the centerline value
matches the recommended tracking force value for the cartridge
you are using.
Refer to the cartridge maker’s specifications for the recommended tracking
force value.
The standard tracking force value for the cartridge provided with this
product is 2.0 g.
Setting the anti-skate adjustment
While the record is playing, a force acts on the stylus tip to pull it
inward. This force can be counteracted by setting the same values for
anti-skate and the tracking force.
1. Adjust the anti-skate control dial to have the same value as the
tracking force value.
The standard tracking force value for the cartridge provided with this
product is 2.0 g.
