3. It is important the
Front and Sides of
the Phono Cartridge
Body line up with
these parallel lines
when looking down
over the top of the
Tone Arm. Refer to
figures 28 and 29. If it
is not parallel, loosen
the mounting hardware
securing the Phono
Cartridge to the Tone
Arm. Reposition the
Phono Cartridge so the
diamond tip of the
stylus is in the center
of the small circle and
the Front and Sides of
the Phono Cartridge
are parallel to the lines
on the Alignment
Gauge. Tighten up the
mounting hardware
and verify the correct
alignment.
4. Set the desired tracking force pressure by using the
accurate Tracking Force Gauge and adjust the posi-
tion of the MT10 Tone Arm Counter Weight.
Note: Adjusting the tracking force pressure closer
to the maximum setting recommend by the
Phono Cartridge Manufacturer will produce
better sound and less record and stylus wear
than setting the tracking force pressure to the
minimum setting.
Tone Arm Height
To assure the best sound reproduction, it is very im-
portant the MT10 Tone Arm is parallel to the record
surface during playback. The height of the Tone Arm
is adjustable to accommodate the different Phono Car-
tridge physical heights. To adjust for the proper Tone
Arm Height, perform the following the steps:
1. Release the Tone Arm from the Tone Arm Rest,
place it on a record and check to see if the Tone
Arm is parallel to the surface of the record. With
the Tone Arm parallel, no adjustment is needed and
proceed to “Trackability Adjustments”. If the Tone
Arm is not parallel, note whether the rear of the
Tone Arm needs to go up or down.
2. With the Tone Arm secured in the Tone Arm Rest,
carefully loosen the two set screws while sup-
porting the rear of the Tone Arm. Reposition the
Tone Arm based on findings in the previous step.
Temporarily tighten one of the set screws. Refer to
figure 30.
3. Release the Tone Arm from the rest and place it on
a record and check to see if the Tone Arm is now
parallel. Also check to make sure the Tone Arm is
parallel to the record platter and the right side of
the turntable base. Refer to figure 29.
4. With the Tone Arm parallel to the record surface,
record platter and turntable base tighten both set
screws,
which
were loos-
ened in
step 2. If
not, repeat
steps 1, 2
and 3 until
the Tone
Arm is
parallel.
