Installing and aligning
a pick-up cartridge
Installing the pick-up
cartridge
Attach the pick-up cartridge (

) to the front end of the tone arm (

) by
threading suitable screws (

) through the slots and attaching the nuts (

).
Locate the wires projecting from the tone arm, and push them onto the
connecting pins on the pick-up cartridge, as stated in the table below.

Aligning the
pick-up cartridge
Preliminary note
The purpose of aligning the pick-up system accurately is to keep the horizontal
tracking error angle small, and there are various principles for optimising this
parameter. For the tone arm supplied with the
G 2000 R the REGA company
recommends optimising the alignment in such a way that particular emphasis is
placed on good tracking over the inner part of the disc. A different and
widespread method of pick-up alignment is the Baerwald principle, which keeps
the maximum angular error as low as possible over the whole of the disc
surface. The diagram shows the tracking error angle for both settings; the
accessory pack supplied with the
G 2000 R includes templates for both
methods of optimisation.

Note:

turntables are set up at the factory in accordance with the Baerwald
template, which we consider to be best for LPs. When aligned in this way, the
pick-up system is not set parallel to the centreline of the tone arm headshell.
We recommend using the Rega
template if you intend to play ‘singles’
frequently.
