5. Mounting the cartridge

The following settings require mounting the cartridge on the headshell.
Always follow the cartridge manufacturer's instructions.
Use the screws provided to mount the cartridge onto the headshell.
Leave the stylus protector on your cartridge to avoid any damages!
Please note:
This tonearm is suitable for all cartridges with a weight of 7g and above.
If your cartridge is lighter, please use an additional weight (headshell plate).
(Available through your dealer/distributor or Clearaudio, info@clearaudio.de)
Now you can connect the respective signal cable with the matching color pins of the cartridge.
Please note the following colour coding:
Red:
right channel / R+
Green:

6. Pre-Setting the tracking force

To make the adjustment, first remove the stylus protector. Please handle all equipment
with care to avoid any damage.
By pulling the security bolt of the folding base you can release the tonearm from its vertical position
to lower it onto the turntable platter.
Use one of the counterweights supplied to pre-adjust the tracking force by sliding it onto the back
of the headshell tube (Pic. 20).
The choice of counterweight depends on the weight of the cartridge.
We recommend the following:
Weight size 1 from cartridge weight of 7g
Weight size 3 from cartridge weight of 8g
Weight size 4 from cartridge weight of 12g
