SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS: TONEARM MOUNT
16. TONEARM SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT:
The tonearm support is factory pre-adjusted, and it is already
leveled to the platter.
To adjust it, you can dismount the arm and level it precisely with
relation to the platter with a bubble level, making sure that the
tonearm mount is leveled in all directions. This tonearm mount
can be raised or lowered, depending on the configuration of the
tonearm.
The support can be adjusted in three-axis by adjusting the screws
on the base of the tonearm.
If you tighten the screw in the back of the tonearm base (2), the
tonearm will tilt backward, and raise the tonearm so it might not
touch the record surface, or the arm lifter won't be able to raise
the arm the 2mm required, and the tonearm will not be able to
rotate freely because of possible friction with the tonearm lifter.
If you tighten or loosen the screws on the sides (1 and 3), the axis
will tilt sideways.
Those adjustments can be used to make sure that the tonearm is
floating freely over the pivot.
If it is not correctly aligned, you can have friction into the arm body
cover of the pivot by touching with the internal axle, and the arm
lifter will not work correctly, and cartridge misalignment can occur.
To ensure that the alignment is correct, you must check that on
the outside of the record, and into the record, the arm can rotate
freely, and the lifter has to lift the tonearm by 2mm in relation to
the record, and also the lifter and the tonearm need to have
1-2mm clearance when the record is being played.
