Turntable Plinth (or Armboard)
How to mount tonearm
1. Place the plastic template onto the turntable
spindle and determine the position of the tonearm
base as shown in Fig.1.
2. Place the tonearm base under template hole
marked TA-210.
Insert the guide pin adaptor in the hole for the
tonearm shaft and secure with screw.
3. Insert the guide pin through the template hole
marked TA-210 and guide pin adapter. Use the
pin to make a mark on the arm board.
This is the center of the TA-210 pivot.
4. Hold the armbase in this position, and make
marks on the armboard/plinth for the three
Anti skating force
When a vinyl record spins, the stylus riding in the groove is pulled inwards toward the center of the vinyl,
causing a greater stylus pressure against the inside wall of the groove than against the outside wall. The
anti-skating mechanism incorporated in the tonearm will neutralize this. It is calibrated from 0 to 3 g in 0.5 g
increments corresponding to the same calibration of the stylus pressure.

mounting screws. The guide pin can also be used
for this.
5. Drill a hole for the arm shaft (19 mm - 20 mm
diameter) and 3 holes for the base mounting
screws (3.5mm for short M3 screws, 2mm for
wood screws). Screw hole size might need
adjustment due to different hardness of boards.
6. Mount the arm base with 3 mounting screws onto
the board.
7. Place the tonearm shaft into the tonearm base
hole. Hold the shaft at the desired height, and
tighten the M4 set screw with the included Allen
(Hexagonal) wrench.

Adjustment of tonearm
Horizontal balance
1. Mount the shell/cartridge onto tonearm. The headshell+cartridge with the total weight in the range
18 g - 28 g can be used for TA-210. For heavier cartridge and headshell combinations, the extra mass ring
may need to be attached to achieve proper tracking force.
2. Adjust the rear tonearm counter weight by turning it until the tonearm floats approximately parallel/
horizontal to the platter.
3. For maintaining of counterweight Inner/Outer scales to be applied:
Inner scale to be applied with main counterweight. Outer scale to be
applied with extra mass ring mounted onto the end of counterweight.
4. The counter weight should be attached onto the rear of the tonearm
with the inner number scale facing forward. If the extra mass ring is
needed, it must be installed prior to attaching the counterweight to
the tonearm. The extra mass ring should be installed on the back of
the counterweight and may need to be twisted slightly to facilitate the
installation. Ensure the extra mass ring fits tightly to the thick part of
the counterweight.
Vertical tracking force
1. Turn the tracking force adjustment ring to "0".
2. Move the counter weight forward by turning it until its
indicator points to the recommended tracking force.
