SPIRIT LEVEL
Precise record groove tracking depends on a solid and level
placement of the turntable. The less level placement the more the
needle tends to sway toward one side of the groove resulting in
sound quality deterioration. The solid and level placement results
in much improved track precision, signicantly less record wear,
and crystal clear sound. Please use the spirit level to have your
turntable always leveled.
Method of use:
1. Place the spirit level as shown on the picture.
2. Observe the bubble inside the spirit level window, adjust the turn
table position so the bubble will stand exactly in the middle of the
scale. Once it is done you have perfect level.
STYLUS TRACKING FORCE GAUGE / SCALE
The tracking force is the downward pressure that is applied by the
weight of the tonearm through the cartridge and onto the vinyl
record. It is important to set the proper tracking force in order to
reduce the risk of mistracking or causing excessive record wear and
to maximize the playback performance.
METHOD OF USE:
1. Very gently, rest the cartridge (needle) onto the middle of the
stylus tracking force gauge tip (1).
2. Next, use the tweezers to place the desired counterweight
into the holder (2) provided and adjust the tonearm weight until
the stylus tracking force gauge is in balance, according to the
recommended stylus tracking force.
HEADSHELL ASSEMBLY & CONNECTIONS
Fix the Headshell into the tonearm. Mount the cartridge to the
headshell as shown below.
1. Connect the headshell‘s connecting wires to the cartridge‘s
connection and observe the correct wire assignment.
2. Fix the cartridge mounting screws with the included metal
screwdriver, following the instructions for the SME alignment tool.
