2. Mount the tonearm base
Mount the tonearm base on a clearaudio turntable:
Fix the tonearm base with the three screws and the hex key wrench (#3) provided onto the dry and
clean surface of the turntable´s proper part.
Mount the tonearm base on a turntable of other manufacturers:
In order to mount the tonearm base on the turntable chassis you will first havo to place three drills
into the turntable chassis. To find out the right position of these drills please take the measures out of
the scetch (also delivered). For this step use an 3,3mm drill. After you have drilled the three holes, cut
the windings with a proper screw-tap. If the material of the turntable chassis is not suitable to be
fitted with windings please use an 4,5mm drill for the holes. In this case you will need some longer
screws with nuts to fix the tonearm base.
Now you can mount the tonearm base on the clean and dry surface of the turntable chassis.
3. Master TQ-I placement
It is easier for you to place the tonearm, if the two rods of the base are in vertical position. To achieve
this, please pull out the small pivot on the side of the
base and bring the two rods in the exspected
position. Now you can bring the tonearm with its two
precise drills onto the two rods of the base. Do this
until the distance between the lower side of the
tonearm and the upper side of the tonearm base is
about 10mm (this distance depends on the turntable-
model you are using).
Lock the two screws on the side of the tonearm to fix
the position of the tonearm with the hex key wrench
(#2).
The now following adjustment requires an already
mounted cartridge on the headshell. Follow the
instructions in the users manual of the cartridge
manufacture.
Slide the headshell with the cartridge through the proper drill in the
carriage of the tonearm. For this, lift up with the cuing lever that the
headshell will be positioned under the rope of the cuing-lever-unit (as
shown in left picture). Connect the pins of the tonearm cable with the
corresponding pins of the cartridge. Please take care of the colour
codes.
Red : right channel / R+
Green : right channel / R-
White: left channel / L+
Blue : left channel / L-
Lock the headshell in this position with the screw on the top of the
carriage with the hex key wrench (#1,5). Take one or more
counterweight(s) (it depends on the weight of cartridge) and slide them
onto the headshell. To fix the counterweight(s) use the screwdriver.
