Raising or lowering the

AQUILAR’s pivot plane

Unscrew the lock screw on the inward

side of the VTA tower by turning it 90°

anti-clockwise.

Just a quarter of a revolution of the lock screw -

90° - is enough.

Now you can lower or lift the

AQUILAR

by

turning the top screw.

After you have reached the desired height,

please -

gently!

! - fasten the side lock screw

again.

Excessive force is never needed anywhere on

the

AQUILAR

. And it has absolutely no benefit

whatsoever.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE

We always recommend doing all

adjustments requiring hand action

only while the stylus is lifted off the

groove.

Important:

Always loose locking screw A

first (1/4 turn only) before

doing any height adjustment

at top knob B !
