Useful tips

The record player should be positioned on a low-resonance surface such as wood or multiple layer ply board

to avoid structural vibrations disturbing replay.

** The cartridge needle must be vertical in the record groove in order to trace the groove wall modulations

correctly.

A small screw at the bearing end of the arm allows incorrect azimuth to be corrected if your needle is not

mounted exactly perpendicular to the cartridge body (which is often the case).

Slacken off the screw just enough to be able to revolve the arm tube without applying force. Please note: do

not remove the screw completely!

With the aid of a good magnifying glass adjust the needle until it is vertical in the groove (i.e. perpendicular

to the record's surface). Ideally this should correspond to the top surface of the cartridge body being parallel

to the record surface.

When you are satisfied that the needle is vertical retighten the screw carefully.

Please note: Under no circumstances should the arm tube be adjusted with the needle still in the

record groove! Irreparable damage may be caused to the cantilever suspension! The arm must be

lifted to make each adjustment and lowered afterwards to check it.

** All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Leaving the needle's protection cover on, fit the

cartridge to the headshell using the screws supplied with the cartridge by passing one screw through each

slot in the headshell (20). Do not tighten the nuts yet.

Connect the tonearm wires to the cartridge pins as follows:

white

left channel positive (L+)

red

right channel pos. (R+)

green

right channel return (R -)

blue

left channel return (L -)

The full sound quality of the record player can only be achieved if the cartridge is correctly adjusted. Particular

tools like the Pro-Ject alignment tool are required to accomplish this job properly.
