Assembly instructions:
Before mounting the cartridge, the plastic stylus guard should be removed, so please procced very carefullly!
By using the mounting hardware, fix the cartridge slightly to make later adjustment possible.
Electrical connections (back view):
At the rear of the cartridge the terminals for the left and right channel are provided.
The cartridge pins should be connected with the tonearm wiring as follows:
Do never solder the cartridge terminals to the tonearm wiring directly, for this could damage internal circuits
irreparably and your warranty will be expired! Use suitable cartridge connectors only! If your tonearm wiring
is not fitted with these or if they are damaged, they are available at your local dealer (for example clearaudio
cartridge-connectors, Art.-Nr.: CO 011).
Adjustment:
Before adjusting the cartridge please follow the procedure recommended by the turntable or tonearm
manufacturer. Set the tracking force carefully within the appropriate range shown in the data sheet.
Wrong tracking forces will lead to distortion and could seriously damage both stylus and record.
When stylus overhang and anti-skating is precisely adjusted, the cartridge can be finally fixed.
If you are using a Wood cartridge we recommend to adjust the delivered metal platter between the
headshell and the cartridge.
Maintenance:
− Always clean your records before playing.
− Also clean the stylus regularly with an appropriate cleaning fluid available at your dealer (for example
clearaudio cleaning fluid, Art.-Nr.: AC 003).
− Have the stylus checked after about 500 hours, for chipped or wornout styli can damage your records
irreparably.
Stylus replacement:
After about 2000 hours of playing (or if you presume excessive wear) the stylus should be replaced.
Caution: Never try to remove the stylus assembly by yourself! For this reason contact your local dealer
or clearaudio directly.
