How to Use:
1.
Mounting on tonearm
a)
The MusiKraft can be mounted on any commercially available universal tonearm or headshell
built to ½” EIA standards. In order to obtain the best performance from the cartridge, it is
important to select a well constructed medium to high mass (10g or more) tonearm, and a
solid headshell which both offers good performance. Additionally, this tonearm will require the
ability to counterbalance at least 11g cartridges (refer to
cartridge weight).
b)
The overhang dimension of a tonearm differs from brand to brand. Adjust the position of the
stylus to the specified overhang dimension of your tonearm. For simplicity, the MusiKraft shell
cover offers five (5) different overhang positions. When the cartridge is mounted on the arm,
be careful to prevent misalignment.
c)
The Audio MusiKraft shell cover measures 2.4mm thick and for a safe penetration, we
recommend using the mounting screws which will penetrate between 1mm to 2.2mm (no
less/no more) into the MusiKraft shell cover. Ignoring to follow proper length may cause
damage to the hole threads and/or the shell base. Choose accordingly from the screw kit. If
you need to compensate between lengths, the shims (flat washers) are 0.5mm thick.

d)
To protect the stylus tip, ensure that the cartridge is mounted on the arm with the stylus guard
attached. Once mounted, you can remove the guard for ease of alignment.
e)
Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA). Adjust the height of the tonearm so that the cartridge is parallel
to the record surface to be played.
