INSTALLATION & SETUP
CONT.
HOW TO CONNECT AND ADJUST THE ANTISKATE
The Cobra uses a specially designed geometry to alter the
force of the bias across the surface of the record from 8-
12% of the tracking force.
The Cobra Arm Wand has a triangular shaped antiskate
“cam” on the underside of the arm, around the main
bearing cup. You will notice a lightweight cord attached
to this cam. The O-ring on the end of the cord needs to
be slid over the hook on the end of the anti skate lever.
Once this cord is attached the bias can be adjusted by
changing the position and the mass of the weight on the
end of the anti skate lever.
Loosen and slide this weight up the lever to reduce
bias, sliding it down the lever to increase the bias.
Factory settings of the weight are close to optimum,
but if you need to add further weight, undo the thumb
screw completely and add one of the supplied 3mm
broad washers as required. Do not overtighten as the
mechanism is designed to be very light to reduce inertia.
