FOZGOMETER V2 Azimuth Range Meter  

 

Correct azimuth alignment of your phono cartridge’s 
stylus assures the best sound and stereo imaging 
from your records. To achieve the best performance, 
your cartridge’s azimuth must be calibrated.  
 
The FOZGOMETER V2 incorporates a very sensitive 
“Log Ratio Detector” to measure the channel separation 
and channel balance of your phono cartridge. It features 
higher sensitivity, a new meter design, and AC or battery 
power for more accurate azimuth calibration. Readings 
are made directly from your tonearm.  The FOZGOMETER 
V2 optimizes your cartridge’s azimuth using the Analogue 
Productions Ultimate Test LP.  
 
Line contact and Micro Line styli have a very small groove 
contact area as compared to elliptical styli, thus requiring 
finer adjustment. Proper azimuth will result in the highest 
channel separation and best channel balance.  
 
The FOZGOMETER V2 measures channel separation and 
channel balance as you horizontally adjust your cartridge’s 
azimuth to get the best readings. 
 
The very sensitive FOZGOMETER V2 can measure small 
differences between the cartridge’s left and right channels, 
based on the cartridge design and construction. Achieving 
the closest measurements, even if not identical, will result 
in higher performance and better sound. 

 

Matching the readings for the 2 channels is the goal. The 
strength of the readings, or how high the needle goes up 
in the meter, is based on the cartridge’s generator design 
and output. The strength of the readings is less important  
than the close matching of the 2 channels.
