You can now see the arm tube and counterweight, with its delicate wire
and Lemo connector, and the arm base assembly. If your arm is pre-
mounted on a tone arm board, remove the small foam piece covering the
"front" of the arm board. Set it aside with the other packing material.
B- CARTRIDGE MOUNTING:
Remove the arm tube from the box (taking special care not to strain or
damage, the delicate wire and Lemo connector) and place it right side
up on the foam pad.
For cartridges with threaded mounting holes:
Use the screws
supplied by the cartridge manufacturer to mount the cartridge. Any other
screws may not fit the thread properly and may even damage the threads
and cartridge. USE ONE OF THE SUPPLIED WASHERS UNDER THE SCREW
HEAD.
You must use washers and you do not over tighten
the screws, this is a soft material and you will
damage it if you over tighten.
For cartridges with pass through mounting holes:
Use the hardware
supplied with the arm. Remember to use the washers under the screw
heads to prevent damage to the finish on the JMW-3D arm. In this step,
the connectors will be attached to the cartridge's terminals.
THE COLOR CODE OF THE
WIRES
IS AS FOLLOWS:
RED = right hot WHITE = left hot
GREEN = right ground BLUE = left ground
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.
