39 ADJUSTING THE AZIMUTH
Adjusting the Azimuth
For an accurate scanning of the musical informa-
tion stored in the groove flanks, it is essential that
the needle is at a precise 90° angle to the surface
of the record. This angle is commonly called azi-
muth and some cartridges offer means to adjust
it. In other cases the azimuth can be adjusted
directly with the TP 124 tonearm as follows:
Remove the cover on top of the tonearm bearing
by loosening the retaining screw with a fine slotted
screwdriver and carefully removing the cover plate.
(Fig. 18)
The tonearm tube
clamping screw is located in
the middle of the cover, slightly recessed in the
tonearm bearing housing. (Fig. 19) Loosen it care-
fully with a 2.5 mm Allen wrench until you can turn
the tonearm tube with little effort. Using a suitable
template, adjust the azimuth of the cartridge and
carefully tighten the clamping screw again. Then
refasten the cover on the top of the tonearm
bearing.
