Clearaudio Peerformance Instruction Manual page 14

The pick-up/cartridge is adjusted correctly, if the
needle points to the reference centre on the
template and the printed lines are parallel to the
sides and front of the pick-up/cartridge. The front of
the pick-up/cartridge system should be parallel to
the printed lines when looked at from above.
When loosening the central screw on the headshell
you can adjust the position of the pick-up/
cartridge. Tighten the screw on the headshell again
to secure the position. Check the position again.
TIP:
For even better and more easy adjustment of the pick-up/cartridge and tonearm we
recommend the clearaudio installation gauge (Art.-Nr. AC 005) .
Now you can set the exact tracking force, use the recommended one, which is provided from
the manufacturer of the pick-up/cartridge.
Put the scales (optional smart stylus gauge) on the surface of the platter and lower the
needle of the pick-up/ cartridge to the number of the tracking weight / force you want. The
tracking force is correctly adjusted if the scale / gauge is exactly in parallel level position to
the surface of the platter when you have lowered the needle onto the gauge.

Performance
The following adjustment is very important:
Please check whether your
is in a leveled position using the level-gauge.
Should the bubble of the level-gauge not be in the
centre of the black circle, generate the perfect
position by screwing the feet of your
–turntable, while turning them clock or counter
clock wise, till you reach the levelled position.
Only if the turntable is in the ideal position you will
get the best performance.
