INITIAL SETUP, INSTALLATION, AND ASSEMBLY: 

9. CARTRIDGE AZIMUTH ADJUSTMENT:

9.1 Using the provided protractor, check the cartridge seen from 

the front, it has to be parallel to the engraved lines of the 

protractor azimuth graph:

9.2 If the azimuth needs adjustment, rotate the eccentric 

counterweight in the back of the tonearm until the cartridge seen 

from the front is parallel to the lines of the azimuth adjustment 

piece of the protractor, avoid moving the counterweight forward or 

backward to avoid changes in the downforce.

You can also use a small mirror to quickly check if the needle tip 

is perpendicular to the record.

The T3 tonearm is unipivot. After the azimuth has been adjusted, 

tap down on both sides of the head of the axis to make sure that 

the head axis appears to be “floating” over the pivot without 

touching the tonearm axle, or in other words, when it can easily 

move up and down and sideways. Please make sure that the 

ltonearm lifter is on the raised position.

In case that the azimuth is aligned but the tonearm is touching the 

tonearm axle, further adjustments will be required. Please refer to 

page 17 of this manual.

After adjusting the azimuth, you must re-check the cartidge 

downforce.
