THORENS TD 295 MK IV User Manual

Tonearm and pickup cartridge
Your new Thorens TD 295 MK IV is supplied with pre-
mounted tonearm Thorens TP 41 and pickup cartridge
Audio Technica AT-95E (Fig. 3).
HINT: the following mounting procedures are applicable
only in case you want to change to an other cartridge.
The tonearm TP 41 is made to accept nearly any pickup
cartridge with standardised 12.5 mm (1/2”) xing holes.
The four colour-coded litz wires of the tonearm’s headshell
are attached to the respective pins (identical colours) at
the rear side of the cartridge.
Some cartridges of yesterday however may not have col-
our-coded pins but show letters instead. We therefore ad-
vise to connect the litz wires as follows:
R
G
L
G
right channel = red wire (signal)
right channel = green wire (ground)
left channel = white wire (signal)
left channel = blue wire (ground)
