Summary of Contents for Morch DP-6

  • Page 2 H. H. MØRCH MORCH DP-6 Fitting instructions • Contents of the packing In the packing of the tonearm you will find the arm base in which the bearings are encapsulated in a heavy body. This is the link between the moveable part of the tonearm and the arm pillar, which is to be mounted in a bush in the board of the turntable.
  • Page 3 • Choice of weights and putting them on In order to make it possible to balance all phono cartridges the tonearm is supplied with three counterweights - large, medium, and small - having the hole excentrically positioned and with a tracking force weight having a centrally positioned hole. The weights that are to be chosen for balancing a cartridge depend on which arm tube that is to be used and on the weight of the cartridge.
  • Page 4 cylinder, and hereafter the piston must not be pulled up again, as the silicone fluid would then easily stick to the walls of the lift cylinder. If this happens the piston will "go down" much too slow. The tonearm is supplied with damping for the horizontal movement. Damping the vertical movement is not always an advantage.
  • Page 5 distance from here to the counterweight is not large enough to give the correct tracking force a smaller counterweight should be used. The height of the tonearm now should be adjusted. With the stylus resting on a record the arm base is moved downwards or upwards until the arm tube is in parallel to the record, and the arm base is turned so that the pick-up lifter can always support the arm tube.
  • Page 6 • Anti-skating The anti-skating force is adjusted with the little black handle next to the pickup lift. The amount of antiskating force required depends on the tracking force and the shape of the stylus. Thus no calibration is possible. Coarse adjustment can be done with the stylus running between the grooves next to the label of the record.
