Adjusting the azimuth (Pro-Ject Evolution tonearms) The cartridge needle must be vertical in the record groove in order to trace the groove wall modulations correctly. Screw A small screw at the bearing end of the arm allows incorrect azimuth to be corrected if your needle is not mounted exactly perpendicular to the cartridge body (which is often the case). Slacken off the screw just enough to be able to revolve the arm tube without applying force.
