Tracking force
The counterweight is attached to the rear end of the to-
nearm tube by carefully rotating it clockwise onto the tube
(Fig. 4.1).
Lower the lift lever (see page 12) and move the tonearm
to a position in between the tonearm rest and the outer
rim or the platter. Now balance the tonearm by rotating
the counterweight either clockwise or counter-clockwise
until total equilibrium has been achieved. HINT: before do-
ing so please remove the (detachable) stylus guard of the
cartridge.
Move the tonearm back to its rest and lock. In order to
adjust tracking force hold the main piece of the coun-
terweight tight with the ngers of one hand to prevent it
from turning whilst the ngers of your other hand rotate
the tracking force dial until “0” on the dial is ush with the
white line on the rear tonearm tube (Fig. 4.2).
Tracking force can now be adjusted by slowly rotating the
counterweight clockwise (the dial is coupled to the weight)
until you have reached the tracking force recommended
by the manufacturer of the pickup cartridge, “20” for in-
stance (20 mN – recommended for the AT-95E).
