ADJUSTING THE MAGENTA TT10 TURNTABLE
LATERAL TRACKING ERROR
While engraving the laquer disc (from which the matrix is made), the cutter head moves laterally from the outside of the lacquer to the inside. At
all instances the cutter diamond makes a 90 degree angle with the groove it has cut. This movement can be imitated by a tangential tonearm.
Most tone arms however are not tangential or parallel tracking tonearms but radial arms which move along a fixed radius. The result is that
during play the lateral angle varies. The diamond of the cartridge does not completely mimic the path originally made by the cutter head.
Use the gage supplied with the turntable and the instructions in it or in the next paragraphs you will find interesting information.
OVERHANG
When using a radial arm, there is practically at every instance a
tracking error which results in a time difference between the signals
of the left and right channel. Just a few milliseconds! Therefore it is
necessary to mount the phono cartridge in the tonearm in such a way
that this time difference is kept to an absolute minimum.
Adjusting the arm in accordance with the specified overhang (and of
course the distance between spindle and arm base as supplied, can
give the least tracking error.
