Installing your Tonearm and Aligning the Cartridge
• The tonearm comes pre-installed on the turntable. The only additional part you would need
to add would be the counterweight.
• The counterweight is located in the accessories pocket in the top foam insert of the
packaging.
• First, inspect counterweight collar on the tonearm and look for the slot/keyway.
• Take the counterweight and identify which side has a larger diameter opening. You would
then slide this end on the back of the tonearm with the larger side facing the front of the
turntable.
• Rotate the counterweight until the set screw at the top is at the 12:00 position.
• Using the supplied 5-64 allen wrench, tighten the setscrew to hold the counterweight on
the adjustment collar. Tighten until the counterweight cannot slide, but do not
overtighten as this might cause counterweight to bind.
• The arm should be placed in the arm rest when you are not playing a record.
• To avoid damage to the 3D tonearm, you can use the provided washers, finger lift, or both to
be placed under the mounting screw head.
• For cartridges with pass-through mounting holes, use the hardware supplied with the
tonearm. Be sure to use washers under the screw heads.
• VPI provides 2 short and long screws for mounting your cartridge. If the provided screws do
not work with your cartridge, we recommend you use the screws provided by the cartridge
manufacturer.
