1. Mounting Procedure:
1.1. Align the mounting holes of the headshell or tonearm with the holes in the
cartridge.
1.2 Attach tonearm wires to cartridge pins, being careful not to add too much force.
Also be sure proper channel and polarity is maintained.
1.3. Insert the screws through the headshell holes and screw them into the inner
threads of the cartridge body. Tighten only enough so there is no movement of
cartridge. Don´t overtight the inner threads of the cartridge body.
NOTE:
Always try to use Clearaudio cartridge gold clips (Art.No. CO011) or damage may
result on cartridge pins.
1.4 Mount the headshell onto the tonearm (if not intergrated), and adjust the
overhang as per tonearm manufacturer's specifications and
tighten cartridge mounting screws fully with the accesssory screwdriver. Take
care that the cartridge is sitting flat and have a full contact to the headshell.
2. Adjusting the Tracking Force
The correct tracking force is approximately 2,4 grams. Please use only these values,
as a light tracking force (1 gram or less) would allow the stylus to jump an the
record grooves will cause damage. NEVER exceed 5 grams tracking force or damage
to stylus or cartridge may result. If optimum tracking force cannot be set because
the cartridge is too light for the arm, please use Clearaudio headshell spacers,
available from the Importer / Dealer.
