How to use

Attach the headshell to the tonearm connector according to the tonearm manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the locking mechanism is fully engaged. Mount the cartridge using the supplied cartridge screws and align it using a protractor or alignment tool to achieve correct azimuth and overhang. Connect the cartridge wires to the matching terminals on the headshell, taking care to maintain correct polarity and secure connections. Balance and set tracking force on the tonearm after installation, and check anti-skate settings before playback.

Recommendations

Use a cartridge alignment protractor and a calibrated stylus force gauge to ensure optimal tracking and minimal record wear. Clean contacts periodically and avoid overtightening screws to prevent damage to cartridge bodies or headshell threads.
