IF YOUR PHONO SECTION INVERTS PHASE, THE HOT BECOMES
THE GROUND COLOR
The arm tube should be on its side on the foam pad when doing this.
Using tweezers or fine tipped pliers grip the center of the red wire's
connector (do not grip the wire) and push it onto the cartridge's right hot
terminal pin. In the same way, connect each of the remaining connectors
to its respective cartridge terminal. Do not push the connectors all the
way on, as this could damage the cartridge. Always back up the cartridge
with your finger when pushing on the clips.
The Classic 3 tone arm comes with one large dropped counterweight
installed on the rear shaft of the tonearm. For most cartridges you will
only need this large weight. The counterweight is held in position by a
setscrew.
Pick up the arm tube, taking care not to strain or damage the fine 4-color
wire and Lemo connector.
For now, position the large counterweight as close to the bearing housing
as you can (toward the front of the arm) but not touching the balance
ring. The object here is to balance the arm while keeping the
counterweight as close to the bearing housing as possible. This results in
the least inertia for a given cartridge weight.
In some rare cases it may be necessary to use two counterweights
together or a larger counterweight. Contact your dealer if a second or
larger counterweight is needed.
B. TRACKING FORCE AND AZIMUTH
Place the arm tube assembly on the lower bearing, taking care not to
strain or damage the 4-color wire and Lemo connector. Place the arm in
its rest.
At the rear of the arm base assembly is the connector block. Plug the
Lemo connector into its receptacle on top of the block. Notice that the
connector can plug in only one way. Align the red dots on the arms plug
with the red dot on the receptacle. Push gently, do not force the plug.
Make sure the turntable is level. Refer to your turntable instructions and
use a bubble level to check level. In most cases, the best place to put
the level is on the platter.
