Balancing the tonearm
Note: 1/2inch cartridges weighing 6.5 grams or more will re-
Quiere the addition of weights on the rear of the counterbalance
in order for the tonearm to be properly balanced. Two such
‘weights
are
provided
in
the
accessory
package.
For
cartridges
weighing approximately 6.5 grams, screw the weight with the
‘threaded screw (the smaller thread) into the rear of the coun-
terbalance. For cartridges weighing more than 6.5 grams, the
second weight should be screwed onto the first.
1. With the tonearm locked and the stylus force and anti-
skating dials set at 0, sip the shaft of the counterbalance onto
the rear of the tonearm, guiding it on by the V-shaped track,
Do not tighten the set screw.
2. If your cartridge has @ removable stylus protector, detach it
before balancing the tonearm.
3. Unlock the tonearm and move it to the inside, past the
‘switch-on position. Move the cue-contral to the & position,
‘Then notice if the tonearm floats either up or down,
4, Slide the counterbalance back and forth until the tonearm
is approximately balanced for the weight of the cartridge.
Then tighten the set-screw.
5. For fine balance, turn the knurled ring of the counter-
balance until the tonearm floats freely parallel to the platter.
Applying tracking force
Pace the tonearm on the rest post and dial the tracking force
recommended for your cartridge,
Tracking force can be set to any value from 0 to 3.0 grams.
Between 0 and 1.5 grams, the dial is calibrated in increments
‘of 0.1 gram. between 1.5 and 3.0 grams, in increments of
0.25 gram.
Note: The Dual tonearm can track at a force as lowas 0.25 gram.
However, you should not actually attempt to track at so low a
force as this is below the optimum tracking force on any
cartridge available today. In all cases, the tracking ability of the
cartridge you select will determine the best stylus force to
‘se
It is usually wise to set tracking force toward the higher end of
the range suggested by the manufacturer of your cartridge. If
oud passages with a good record sound clean, you can reduce
the force slightly. but listen for the harshness or fuzziness that
Occurs with insufficient tracking force,
Too light a tracking force produces distortion, and also produces
groove skipping and excessive record wear
Too heavy a tracking force restricts the ability of the stylus to
follow the contours of the groove and can also cause excessive
record wear.
Applying anti-skating
‘Use the bottom scale (©) for conical styli, the top scale ()
for elliptical styli. Dia! to the same number you have set for
wrecking force.
