Tone Arm and Cartridge Settings
The major cause of problems in sound and skipping on the vinyl is the lack of proper set up of the needle and turntable
adjustments. The needle is designed to operate at a specific angle to the vinyl. The T.62 M2 has several adjustments to
correctly position the needle to the vinyl.
The first adjustment is the correct installation of the cartridge.
Your cartridge is pre-mounted into the headshell and ready to go. Please see the owner’s manual for any cartridge you
purchased separately.
The second adjustment is at the installation of the cartridge-head-shell assembly into the tone arm tube lock. Holding the
tone arm tube in one hand, insert the cartridge-headshell into the tube lock with the other hand. Turn the lock ring
clockwise (when viewed from the rear) until the headshell is locked tightly into the tone arm. Remove the needle protector
from the cartridge and place the needle on record. View the needle from the front and insure that the needle is
perpendicular to the record surface. If some adjustment is needed, simply loosen the two small screws at the under and
behind the tube lock and rotate the cartridge-headshell until the needle is perpendicular to the record surface. Then re-
tighten the screws. Note: This is set at the factory and most likely, you will not need to do anything.
The third adjustment is the needle (or stylus) pressure. Start with the cartridge-headshell assembly mounted into the tone
arm. Remove any needle protectors provided. With tone arm free, adjust the tone arm counterweight by rotating the rear
section until the tone arm floats in a balanced condition above the record or mat. Do not allow the needle to drop onto the
mat or the turntable platter during this adjustment. You might damage the needle tip. Now, carefully hold the tone arm in
one hand while rotating the numbered ring on the front of the counter-weight with the other hand to the “0” setting.
Next, without touching the numbered ring, Rotate the rear counterweight until the desired needle pressure reading is next
to the line on top of the tone arm tube, check instructions included with your cartridge for proper settings.
