For correct cartridge alignment, use the two-point cartridge alignment protractor provided with
your Prelude accessories. If unfamiliar with two-point setup, please refer to your dealer.
b) Counterweight installation, Vertical Tracking Force setting (VTF)
The counterweight (6) supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 7 - 11g.
Pushing carefully, turn the counterweight onto the rear end of the tonearm tube (7), so that
the downforce scale (10) shows towards the front of the player. Lower the tonearm lift and
position the cartridge in the space between tonearm rest and platter. Carefully rotate the
counterweight until the tonearm tube balances out. The arm should return to the balanced
position if it is moved up or down. This adjustment must be done carefully. Do not forget to
remove the cartridge protection cap if fitted.
Once the arm is correctly balanced return it to the tonearm rest (12). Hold the counterweight
without moving it, and gently revolve the downforce scale ring until the zero is in line with the
anti-skating stub (8). Check whether the arm still balances out.
Rotate the counterweight counter clockwise (seen from the front) to adjust the downforce according
to the cartridge manufacturer's recommendations. One mark on the scale represents 1 mN (= 0.1g
/ 0.1 Pond) of downforce.
Please note: Adjust the downforce prior to installing the anti-skating weight.
The recommended downforce for the factory fitted cartridge Ortofon 2M RED is 18mN.
c) Tonearm output connection
Connect the tonearm cable provided with the accessories to the RCA tonearm output that is
located at the rear of the turntable, behind the tonearm. Connect the grounding cable on the
earth connection screw.
