5) Installing the cartridge 

 
The SIMPLICITY II offers a unique way to install the cartridge very accurately and get all the 
advantages of the ultra-precise tracking. The headshell can be taken apart for easy installa-
tion. To install the cartridge correctly, follow these directions step by step. 

1)

 

Make sure the internal screw of the headshell does not project out of the front sur-
face of the headshell. Use the Hex 0.9 to adjust it. 
 

2)

 

Prepare the cartridge and the cartridge screws for installation. Make sure you use 
the cartridge screws delivered with the SIMPLICITY II, as another type might block 
the installation on the tonearm. 

Tighten the screws gently so that the cartridge 

stays in position but still can be moved manually.

 

 

3)

 

Carefully move the headshell and cartridge into the sight-unit. Make sure not to 
break the diamond tip. 
 

4)

 

Keep the cartridge assembly in the sight unit. Make sure it does not move.
