Mounting the cartridge
Connecting
Please correlate the colour code for the terminals on the drawing with the colour codings on the
cartridge.
The terminals for right and left channel have the same position as normal for Ortofon cartridges.
We recommend to mount lead wires on cartridge and tonearm before aligning and calibrating the
cartridge. Lead wires of length 35 mm will fit a distance between cartridge and tonearm terminals
and will work with most head shells.
Mounting
For mounting the cartridge to the headshell you have one pair of M2,5 x 5 screws at your
disposal. It is of great importance to use the right length of screws when mounting the cartridge.
Using too long screws may stop the screws inside the cartridge resulting in insufficient mounting
in the headshell and may damage the cartridge.
The choice of screw length is depending on the thickness of the headshell, and a maximum of
2.5 mm free screw length under the headshell:
- for headshells up to 3.5 mm use the enclosed M2,5 x 5 mm screws.
- for headshells with the thickness over 3.5 mm it is recommended to use the 7 mm screws..
Mount the cartridge loosely to the headshell at this moment.
Quintet Mono uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole
pins. This effectively eliminates the need for mono-specific equipment, making it possible to enjoy
true mono reproduction on any stereo playback system.
