3) Adjusting the VTA The tonearm should always be parallel to the record-surface. The VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) has an influence on the sound. It can be adjusted easily and precisely, even while playing. 1) Please release the locking-screw and make sure the tonearm-unit moves up and down freely.

5) Installing the cartridge The design of the EASY is based on a geometry which is different from all principles known so cartridge-screws far. Therefore, for the installation of the cartridge, it is important to use the protractor deliv- ered with the arm.

6) Setting the tracking force With the Easy we deliver two counter-weights, fitting for light or heavy cartridges. The coun- ter weight is moved by screwing it towards the bearing unit to decrease the tracking force and vice versa. Please use a proper tonearm-gauge to measure the tracking force.
