Lift your cartridge down on the record or the linear gauge and make sure that the straight
bar or rod is parallel to the surface of the record or gauge. You will have to loosen the
screw in the carriage holding the headshell in order to change the horizontal position
(Azimuth) of the cartridge. Lock this screw again after your adjustments are finished.
The following step will ensure real linear tracking.
You will need the delivered Clearaudio linear gauge for this adjustment.
Place the gauge over the spindle of the platter and turn it under the chassis of the
tonearm. Take special care on the cantilever of the cartridge!
Please remove the LP if used one before ! Place the cartridge down and position the
diamond on the black line of the gauge (see pic. 18 ; “red line”).
Do this step at the „beginning“ and also at the „end“ of the „record“ (imagine that there is
now one on your platter).
This adjustment is successful, if the diamond touches the black line in all positions.
To change the position of the diamond, please unlock the screw on the top of the carriage
with the hex key wrench No 2 and move the headshell forward or backward until the
diamond sits exact on the black line.
This adjustment is very important to ensure the real linear tracking ability of
your tonearm.
After this adjustment please check the azimuth of your cartridge again (see 4.3 / page: 9)
and adjust the recommend stylus pressure (see cartridge manufacturers user manual).
Attention:
Before the first use or after a long storage, please apply the lift unit up and down
approximately 4-5 times, so that the oil inside can dissolve in order that the lift unit can
move smoothly.
The Clearaudio TT 3 is now complete assembled and set up.
