2. Adjusting the Tracking Force
Carefully remove the stylus protection guard. This can be done by grasping it from the rear with thumb and
index finger and pulling it rearward gently. The correct tracking force is approximately 2.8g. Please use only
these values, as a light tracking force (1 gram or less) would allow the stylus to jump an the record grooves
will cause damage.
NEVER exceed 5 grams tracking force
or damage to stylus or cartridge may result.
If optimum tracking force cannot be set because the cartridge is too light for the arm, please use
Clearaudio
headshell spacers, available from the importer / dealer.
3. Other adjustments
1. The correct position of the cartridge (overhang setting) depends of the length and shape of the tonearm
and of the mounting point of the tonearm bearing. For precise setting you need a setting template, which
is usually supplied or offered by the manufacturer of the respective turntable or tonearm. Often quite
inaccurate paper- or plastic templates are attached, which do not allow precise adjustments due to the
material. Special overhang templates are available through your local dealer or from
Clearaudio
(Art.
No. AC005/IEC).
2. The distance between the lower edge of the cartridge when lowered to the record surface should be
0.8mm.
3.
Please adjust the tracking force. To check the adjustment (trackability) you can use a test records which
is available through you dealer (for example
Clearaudio
Art. No. LPT83063).
4. Setting the Anti-skating: Many tonearms have a device to compensate the anti-skating force.
Please proceed according to the user manual of your tonearm manufacturer.
For absolutely correct setting we would also like to recommend a test record.
