Page 4: Setup Procedure
How to avoid noise problems The ECG 1 turntable contains delicate circuits that are to magnetic stray fields. The unit should not be placed near power voltage transformers, TV sets etc. Care should also be taken regarding placement of the interconnect and earth cables. - Page 5 The ECG 1s performance is dependent on the surface it is placed upon. It is therefore important that the surface below the ECG 1 is solid, vibration free and level. This surface can be the top shelf of an audio rack, a stand-alone table or a wall bracket.
- Page 6 Some tips before you get started Several of the procedures involved in the cartridge alignment (HTA, VTA and Azimuth) is based on visual information. A strong movable light source (spotlight) and good indirect lighting is recom- mended to use during alignment. The angle of the light is crucial, since cast shadows may give you inaccurate perception.
- Page 7 Speed control Complete cartridge alignment on your ECG 1 turntable So far, we have looked at playback and the basic setup and adjustments on your tonearm, when it comes with a pre-aligned cartridge already mounted in the headshell. We will now go through how to set up the tonearm from scratch - with a new cartridge out of the box.
- Page 8 We recommend using the most modern geometry - High Fidelity. • Place a record and then the Electrocompaniet protractor on the platter with the spindle through the hole - corresponding with your choice of geometry. Let the arrow point directly towards the hori- zontal pivoting point on the armbase (the hole on top) of the Jelco arm.

Counterweight Altering the vertical tracking angle on the tonearm will change the sound character from the cartridge. Negative VTA (tilting towards the back) will sound warmer and mellower, while positive VTA (tilting towards the front) will sound brighter and tighter. -
