4 Tonearm mounting 

 

4.1 Unify mounting 

 

To mount the tonearm base to the Ambient armboard, please use the screws without 

nuts (M4x20) and place it like the red marked screws.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carefully

 remove the security zip tie and unwrap the arm tube. 

Caution:

 

Once the 

security zip tie is removed not to inadvertently pull it out of the armwand.

  

Place the arm tube on to the pivot point and lock it into it´s arm rest. Use the cable 

strain relief screw (M4x10) and washer (red marked screw in the picture below) to 

secure the cable to the tonearm base. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Insure that the distance from the spindle to the pivot point of the tonearm is exactly 222 

mm. Moving the armboard in one direction or another will allow you to locate the correct 

position. Once located, tighten the armboard down. Shown in the picture below. You can 

also use the optional clearaudio cartridge alignment gauge.
