In your UNI-Protractor set you will find a 8mm
acrylic azimuth template.
This template is a tool to evaluate horizontal level
of your cartridge’s body.
This is at least some help to pre-determine optical
alignment azimuth of your stylus.
If you are lucky, your stylus is in line with the
vertical lines of your cartridge’s body. In that case
this optical adjustment will ease the fine-tuning of
your azimuth alignment.
However - it is intended to serve only as an opti
-
cal “helper” and does in no way replace critical
adjustment of your stylus’ azimuth by means of a
test record with cross-talk signals or similar test
options which do deliver the results based on the
position of the stylus towards the groove walls.
With better cartridges today we often find that the
stylus is relatively in-line with outer lines of the
cartridge’s body.
