You can spot the 5 lines parallel to the cantilever.
The cantilever MUST be in line with the middle
line flanked by 2 lines on each side.
Move and ever so slightly rotate your cartridge
in the headshell till your stylus rests on the spot
AND your cantilever is right above the middle
line north of the null point.
To perfectly check this, use the parallax-view
offered by the 3mm deep mirror of your UNI-
template.
All viewing should be made through the
magnifier supplied with the UNI-Protractor or
with the optional available UNI-Microscope.
Please take your time when adjusting the stylus
and cantilever.
Move the cartridge ever so slightly. Try to apply
as little force as possible and you will get closer
and closer to the “sweet spot”.
If you really want to get the best possible
performance from your cartridge, tonearm and
whole analog set-up, it is essential that you align
the stylus on the null point and cantilever parallel
to the center line north of the null point.
You need to adjust the tonearm/cartridge in this
single one spot only. If your stylus and cantilever
do meet the spot and line here, it does so on the
whole arc following this calculation.
Time, care and patience spent here will pay off
in optimized sonic performance of your analog
set-up.
When the cantilever is parallel to the center line
while the stylus rests on the null point, the
adjustment is finished. The above picture gives
a nice optical impression how it looks when the
cantilever is perfect aligned with help of the
parallax lines surrounding it.
