3) Adjusting the VTA 
 
The tonearm should always be parallel to the record-surface. The VTA (Vertical Tracking 
Angle) has an influence on the sound. It can be adjusted easily and precisely, even while 
playing. 

1)

 

Please release the locking-screw and make sure the tonearm-unit moves up and 
down freely. 
 

2)

 

Use the VTA-Screw to adjust the vertical position of the tonearm. If the length of the 
pre-installed screw does not fit, change it for another length. It’s three VTA-screws 
delivered with the tonearm in total. 
 

3)

 

Tighten the locking-screw again. Do not forget to do this, as it has an audible influ-
ence on the sound (dynamics). 
 

 

4) Adjusting the azimuth 
 
The azimuth (Horizontal Tracking Angle) can be adjusted by moving the bearing unit around a 
pivot. The azimuth has been set carefully at our workshop. If the cartridge is manufactured 
correctly, there is no adjustment needed. We do not recommend adjusting the azimuth, ex-
cept if you have a problem with the channel separation. 

1)

 

Loose the two locking-screws. Make sure not to take away the screws but just un-
tighten them.
 
 

2)

 

Adjust the azimuth by carefully push the bearing unit to be turned around the pivot . 
 

3)

 

Tighten the two locking-screws again. Do not forget to do this, as it has an audible in-
fluence on the sound (dynamics).
