2.5.3 Alignment of the tonearm
For the further 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 of 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 tonearm`s
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.
2.5.4. Adjustment of the Azimuth
The azimuth indicates the angle of the stylus relative to the record, viewed from the front.
It should be exactly 90°.
The Azimuth is already preset at factory.
If you need to change the azimuth, please loosen the screw on
the under side of the tonearm near the headshell using the 1.5
mm allen key (Pic 10).
Now you can change the azimuth.
Once the adjustment is finished, lock the screw on the under
side of the arm tube near the headshell.
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.
