2.6.3 Adjustment of cartridge and tonearm
For the further set-up of the tonearm, you need the
supplied cartridge alignment gauge. Slide the gauge
over the spindle of the turntable platter and turn the
platter into the position as shown on the beneath picture
(Clearaudio emblem shows to the spindle)
Lower the cartridge and place the diamond stylus of the
cartridge on the reference point of the alignment gauge,
making sure that the edges of the tonearm tube are absolutely
parallel to the marked lines printed on the cartridge alignment gauge.
For this adjustment it is necessary to take a look directly from above the tonearm and the
alignment gauge.
If you have to change the position of the stylus you can loosen
the allen screws on the top of the tonearm`s
headshell and move the cartridge into the corresponding
position.
Please make sure that the front of the cartridge is parallel to the
marked lines of the cartridge alignment gauge.
Once correctly aligned lock the position with the screws in the
headshell.
During final tonearm and cartridge installation, always be sure to view from directly above
the alignment gauge, to avoid any parallax errors.
2.6.4. Adjustment of the Azimuth
The azimuth indicates the angle of the stylus relative to the record, viewed from the front.
It should be exactly 90°.
The Azimuth is already preset at factory.
If you need to change the azimuth, please loosen the screw on
the under side of the tonearm near the headshell using the 1.5
mm allen key (Pic 10).
Now you can change the azimuth.
Once the adjustment is finished, lock the screw on the under
side of the arm tube near the headshell.
