Let go of the downforce scale and rotate the

counterweight between 15-16 (for Ortofon

OM10).

Return the tonearm to the tonearm rest.

VTA and SRA are already set for the mounted Ortofon OM10. If you wish to change the cartridge or have bought the turntable without

one, please read the following instructions.

Refer to the image below if you need to

readjust the setting for Ortofon OM10. If

you are installing another cartridge, refer

to manuals from manufacturers of the

cartridges you wish to use.

9.1. Setting up the vertical tracking angle - Vertical tracking angle (VTA and SRA)

The goal is to bring the diamond tip, in relation

to the grooves of record surface, to the same

position as the original cutter head’s diamond

tip. To optimise this we need to set up the

cartridge’s diamond tip in the grooves at a

specic angle.

To adjust the height of the tonearm, use the

large inbus key, unscrew the two screws at the

back of the tonearm base and adjust the height

accordingly. Make sure to have the turntable in

a levitating position to achieve the correct result.

Refer to manuals from manufacturers of the car-

tridge you wish to use.

While supporting the counterweight so that it

does not move, turn the tracking force gauge

ring so that its “0” position lines up with the

centerline on the back of the tonearm (the

tracking force is not adjusted simply by

turning the tracking force gauge ring).
