Pro-Ject Audio Systems SIGNATURE 12.2 Manual page 12

Step 1: Place the tool with groove to the headshell as shown on the úicture below.

Step 2: Move the cartridge to the correct position. The correct position is achieved when the tip of the needle

is in the same plane as the reference plane of the tool. This is illustrated in the following picture.

Counterweight assembly / Vertical tracking force setting (VTF)

Remove the counterweight from the accessories and place it on the support rod. The support rod is equipped

with a fine internal thread for the final adjustment of the tracking force. After positioning the counterweight,

secure it with the top locking screw. The turntable accessories include two extra counterweight inserts, which

are used to increase the weight of the counterweight, thereby balancing heavier cartridge systems.

After inserting the extra insert into the counterweight, always secure the insert with the screw located at the

bottom of the counterweight. The counterweight insert should not protrude towards the tonearm body; rather,

it should protrude away from the tonearm body, as shown in the attached pictures.

After choosing the correct combination of counterweight and insert, and securing the counterweight on the

support shaft, the tracking force is adjusted by rotating the rear screw, which moves the counterweight along

the fine internal thread in the support rod.
