Overhang
Our turntables and tone arms are always supplied with the Gold Note Calibration Tool to calibrate correctly the setup.
With this tool you will be able to adjust:
A)
Phono Cartridge alignment
B)
Overhang
C)
45rpm and 33
⅓
rpm speed
(requires a strobe light)
SPEED ADJUSTMENTS
Check the speed with the help of a strobe light (eventually a home NEON can also work).
When the speed is correct you will be able to see the sequence of black rectangular signs as if they were stable and fixed while
the platter is spinning.
The outer line is to check the 33
⅓
rpm
The inner line is to check the 45
rpm
OVERHANG
To set the correct overhang the Calibration Tool must be inserted on to the turntable record pin and the cartridge Tip must be
positioned on top of the pin.
Adjust the position of the cartridge until the suggested overhang of the phono cartridge is reached as indicated by the
manufacturer.
