5.1 Adjustment of the VTA

The tonearm remains loose in the clamping ring and is not screwed tight. Now place a record or
the Clearaudio alignment gauge (Art. No. AC005/IEC) on the turntable and remove the stylus
protector from your cartridge.
Make sure the tracking force is roughly adjusted to avoid damage to the cartridge.
Please be extremely careful during the following steps!
Never move the cartridge in the alignment gauge while it is lowered.
Use the lift to lower the tonearm and check if the tonearm tube is parallel to the platter.
The tonearm tube should not touch the lift bracket, but the needle must rest on the record or the
alignment gauge.
Put the tonearm tube back in the rest position if the tonearm tube is not parallel and shows a slight
incline.
Now carefully lower/raise the entire tonearm in the clamping ring until the tonearm tube is parallel
to the platter.
Hand-tighten the clamping ring while the tonearm is in this position.
Put the tonearm back in the rest position holder and add the stylus protector if the position is still
correct.
