a.) Tracking force
You can adjust the tracking force by rotating the weights
of the tone arm.
The tracking force increases, the more you turn the
weights forward towards the tone arm (see fig.
F 7
).
You can optimally adjust the tracking force with the help
of a tone arm scale (available in specialist shops). For
this, move the tone arm, with lowered tone arm lift, over
the platter and carefully lower it so that the stylus rests
on the tone arm scale. In doing so, it is absolutely neces-
sary to remove the protective cover of the cartridge.
Please be extremely careful in order to not damage the
stylus.
The recommended tracking force for the supplied device
is 23mN (corresponds to a tracking force of 2.3g).
b.) Anti-skating
Skating arises in connection with radial tone arms. Due
to the offset between the cartridge's axis and the tone
arm's pivot, the force applied (through friction) by the
