counter weight on the threaded bolt until you can see approximately eight threads
(backside view of the tonearm). This works only if the lead plate, which is part of
delivery of the clearaudio cartridge, is not mounted under the cartridge. If you have
problems with the adjustment of the tracking force you can also use tools like the

gauge (Art. No. AC094). For more informations on that,
please contact your specialist dealer or directly clearaudio.

see page 11.
For the next settings place any LP. Now you can remove the stylus protector.
If you now lift down the cartridge to the middle of the turntable platter, you must
see (from the side) that the upper edge of the tonearm tube is parallel to the surface
of the record.
10.) You can use the tonearm tube as orientation. If it is necessary you can adjust
the height of the tonearm. For that you have to move the tonearm in chassis’s hole
in the right direction and to fix these position through locking the allen screw in the
edge of the turntable chassis.
If you now lift down the cartridge again and take a look at the front side of the
cartridge you have to make sure that the upper edge of the cartridge is parallel to
the record surface. This adjustment had been set up perfectly by clearaudio. Only if
it is necessary, you can adjust the cartridge position, while carefully screw the small
allen screw on the bottom side of the tonearm tube near the headshell (Caution:
please don’t unscrew the allen screw completely). Now you can twist the headshell
with the mounted cartridge around his roll-axis. To achieve the most precise
adjustment you can use a set square.
If you have found the right position you can carefully lock the small allen screw
without changing the position defined before.
Don’t twist the headshell when the cartridge is lifted down and
the diamante tip is on the record. It is necessary to lift the tip
from the record, before you can prove the position again.
11.) For the final set-up of the tonearm, you need the cartridge
alignment gauge which is included as well. Slide the gauge over
the spindle of the turntable platter and turn the platter into the
position as shown on the beneath picture.
12.) Lift down the cartridge and place the diamond tip of the
cartridge on the reference point on the alignment gauge and make
sure that the edges of the tonearm tube are absolutely parallel to
the marking lines printed on the cartridge alignment gauge. For
that adjustment it is necessary to take a look directly from the top
on the tonearm and the alignment gauge.
13.) If you have to change the position of the diamond tip you can
unscrew the allen screw on the top of the tonearm`s
headshell and move the cartridge into the corresponding
position. Please make also sure that the leading edge of the
