Note: It may be necessary to slide the Phono Car-
tridge forward or backward in the headshell to
position the stylus in the center of the circle.
4. It is important the Front and Sides of the Cartridge
Body line up with these parallel lines when look-
ing down over the top of the Tone Arm. Refer to
figures 23 and 24. If it is not parallel, loosen the
mounting hardware securing the Phono Cartridge
to the Tone Arm. Reposition the Phono Cartridge
so the tip of the stylus is in the center of the small
circle and the Front and Sides of the Phono Car-
tridge are parallel to the lines on the Alignment
Gauge. Tighten up the mounting hardware and
verify the correct alignment.
Tone Arm Height
To assure the best sound reproduction, it is very
important the MT2 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. Refer
to figure 25.
With the Tone
Arm parallel,
no adjustment
is needed and
proceed to “Set-
ting the Tracking
Force Pressure”.
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 set screw while supporting 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 26.
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 27.
