4.)
For the next settings, place any LP on the platter and remove the stylus protector.
If you now lift down the cartridge to the middle of the turntable platter,
you must see (from the side) that the lower edge of
the tonearm tube is parallel to the surface of the
record. You can use the tonearm tube as orientation.
If it is necessary you can adjust the height of the tonearm (VTA).
For that you have to move the tonearm in the chassis’s hole in the right direction (up an
down). Fix the tonearm in its correct position by locking the allen screw in the tonearm base.
5.) Azimuth adjustment
If you now lift down the cartridge again and take a look at the front side of the cartridge.
You have to make sure that the upper edge of the cartridge is parallel to the record surface.
This adjustment had been set up perfectly by Clearaudio. Only if it is necessary, you can
adjust the cartridge position, while carefully screw the small allen screw on the bottom side
of the tonearm tube near the headshell (Caution: please don’t unscrew the allen
screw completely). Now you can twist the headshell with the mounted cartridge around
his roll-axis. To achieve the most precise adjustment you can use a set square.
If you have found the right position you can carefully lock the small allen screw without
changing the position defined before.
Don’t twist the headshell when the cartridge is lifted down and the
diamond tip is on the record. It is necessary to lift the tip from the
record, before you can check the position again.
6.)
For the final set-up of the tonearm, you need the cartridge
alignment gauge which is included as well. Slide the gauge over the
spindle of the turntable platter and turn the platter into the position
as shown in the picture 9.
