Fitting And Connecting The Cartridge; Cartridge Downforce Adjustment - Pro-Ject Audio Systems Perspective Final Edition Instructions For Use Manual

Now use the adjusting screws (A, B, C) on the spring struts to adjust the horizontal position of the sub-
chassis. Check and correct the setting using the included spirit level.
In order to prevent the silicone oil from leaking out of the dampening tank, the device must not be tilted or
placed upside down.

Fitting and connecting the cartridge

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 (12). Do not tighten the nuts yet.
Connect the tonearm wires to the cartridge pins as follows:
white left channel positive
red right channel pos.
green right channel return
blue left channel return
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.
If you are not well acquainted with the adjustment of cartridges, you are advised to call upon the willing help of
your Pro-Ject dealer to accomplish this task for you.
Please note: Adjusting a cartridge and tonearm calls for the greatest care in order to avoid damaging
the cartridge or tonearm bearings. Leave this work to your dealer if you are in any way unsure of the
necessary steps and precautions to be taken.

Cartridge downforce adjustment

The counterweights (8) supplied are suitable for cartridges weighing between 6 – 10g (counterweight no. 16)
and 10 - 15g (counterweight no. 03).
Pushing carefully, turn the counterweight (8) onto the rear end of the tonearm tube (11), so that the downforce
scale shows towards the front of the player. Lower the arm lift and position the cartridge in the space between
arm rest and platter. Carefully rotate the counterweight (8) until the arm tube balances out. The arm should
return to the balanced position if it is moved up or down. This adjustment must be done carefully. Do not forget
to remove the cartridge protection cap if fitted.
