Tonearm Assembly
1. Counterweight/Ring and S-Weight:
The Counterweight is used to balance the head
shell and cartridge assembly so that the proper
amount of stylus pressure is applied to the
record. The S-Weight should be used in most
cases when the S-Shaped tube is used. It is
not needed for the straight arm and can be
stored below the counterweight in the top
cabinet while not in use.
2. Height Adjust Ring:
Turning this ring counter-clockwise raises the
tonearm up to 6mm to accommodate for
different slipmat thicknesses. This ring can not
be adjusted unless the Height Lock Lever (3) is
unlocked.
3. Height Lock Lever:
Turning this lever towards the direction of the
arrow (clockwise) unlocks the Height Adjust
Ring (2) so that the tonearm height can be
adjusted.
4. Anti-Skate Adjustment:
This knob is used to compensate for inward
tracking forces. See Tonearm Setup for more
details on its settings.
5. Secondary Tube Lock Collar:
This collar is used to secure the tonearm tubes
(straight or s-shaped) to the tonearm
assembly.
6. Arm Clip:
This specially designed arm clip secures the
tone arm while it is being transported or not in
use.
7. Tonearm Cueing System:
This feature allows the tone arm to be
positioned at a certain point above the record
and slowly engaged. When the lift lever is in
the up position the tone arm should rest on the
armrest. When the lift lever is lowered, the
tone arm is slowly lowered until the stylus is
resting on the record.
8. Tone Arm Lock Nut:
This aluminum nut is used to secure the head
shell and cartridge assembly to the tone arm
tube. See cartridge setup for more details.
WARNING: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN LOCK COLLAR (5) OR THE LOCK NUT (8)!
CONNECTING ANYTHING OTHER THAN NUMARK ARMS TO THIS COLLAR MAY DAMAGE THE
INTERNAL PIN HEIGHTS OF THE CONTACTS!
