If you now lift down the cartridge to the middle of the turntable platter, you must see (from
the side) that the upper 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. For that you have to move the tonearm in chassis’s hole in the right direction
and to fix these position through locking the allen screw in the edge of the turntable chassis.
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 diamante tip is on the
record. It is necessary to lift the tip from the record, before you can prove the position
again.
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 on the beneath picture.
Lift down the cartridge and place the diamond tip of the
cartridge on the reference point on the alignment gauge and
make sure that the edges of the tonearm tube are absolutely
parallel to the marking lines printed on the cartridge alignment
gauge. For that adjustment it is necessary to take a look directly
from the top on the tonearm and the alignment gauge.
If you have to change the position of the diamond tip you can
unscrew the allen screw on the top of the tonearms headshell and
move the cartridge into the corresponding position. Please make also
sure that the leading edge of the cartridge is parallel to the marker
lines of the cartridge alignment gauge. Fix the right position through
looking the headshell screw on the top.
During final tonearm and cartridge installation, always take a look
from the top onto the alignment gauge, to avoid any parallax errors.
The installation is done correctly, when at the same time the armtube
is parallel to the marking lines on the gauge, the diamond tip is on
the reference point and the leading edge of the cartridge is parallel to
the lines on the gauge. Finally lock all screws that had been involved
during the adjustments.
