RCA plugs: red = right channel ; black = left channel The standard wiring is shielded from the arm to the RCA-plugs. The "ground� wire is to be connected to the following amplification stage�s "ground�. If you use a "star grounding� pattern, connect the ground wire to your "central� ground. 4) Adjusting your tonearm/cartridge 4.1) Alignment of the arm relative to the turntable The arm will now be moved back to it�s resting position, then the shaft © needs to be turned so that the armwand in it�s resting position ends up being parallel with the right side of your turntable. Any position is fine but you might prefer the more "orderly� look of the properly aligned ensemble. Now you can remove the cardboard strip sitting between the magnets. It was placed there to prevent excessive movement during shipping. This bearing is, unlike many other bearing types, not susceptible to shock induced damage. It is still advisable to keep the cardboard strip for later transports (any appropriately folded peace of paper will do). 4.2) Mounting your cartridge The cartridge can be mounted in the headshell using the supplied M2.5 non-magnetic stainless steel screws (i). You might prefer to first separate the mounting plate from the armwand by unscrewing the M3-connectionscrew(j) . Usually it is sufficient to tighten the M2.5 screws well, but not excessively so. Over-tightened screws can result in internal tensions in the cartridge body, negatively affecting the sound or even damaging the internal structure. Don�t forget: the next step after "REALLY tight� is "totally loose�. Connecting the mounting plate with the armwand requires tightening screw j, the same rules apply. 4.3) Tracking force and overhang Take the counterweight and slide it onto the back section of the armwand. Leave your "stylus cover� (if your cartridge features such a device) on and set the tracking force to approx. 1.5 gr. Tighten the counterweight locking screw (g) just so that you can still slide the counterweight without applying much pressure. Using a proper template (i.e. Dennesen, Clearaudio or my own) the overhang is now adjusted by first loosening screw j , then sliding the mounting plate towards or away from the bearing. Using the aforementioned alignment gauges will automatically result in achieving a proper "outer� zero-point(120.9mm) once you have managed to get the "inner� zero-point(66.04mm) right. Next, check the tangency of the cantilever as seen from above � with the stylus not quite touching the alignment gauge - and if necessary turn the headshell mounting plate, making sure the cantilever (not the cartridge body) is tangential to the record. Finally, tighten screw (j) again. 4.4) VTA-Adjustment As a starting point you should raise or lower the tonearm block until the armwand appears to be parallel to the record surface with the needle in the
