2. Mounting the clamping ring

2.1 Selecting the correct tonearm base

If you would like to use the

TT5

in combination with an swing base, please go ahead and mount the

swing base as described in the user manual. The clamping ring is not needed in this case.

Whether you want to use the

TT5

with or without swing base, the following instructions (from point

4 onwards) for setting the

TT5

apply are for both options.

Before mounting the clamping ring, rst check that the correct tonearm base is mounted on your

turntable.

For Clearaudio Performance DC and Ovation turntables you can use the following tonearm bases:

• Uni concept / Performance DC / Ovation (Art. No. AC031-5)

This tonearm base is equally suitable for mounting all Clearaudio radial tonearms and

TT5

tangential tonearm without additional mounting of the clamping ring.

Please note: This tonearm base is not suitable to mount the swing base!

• Unify base (Art. No. AC031-4)

For mounting the clamping ring or the Clearaudio swing base.

• To mount the clamping ring on a turntable of the Clearaudio Innovation series you will need

to mount the Unify 12 inch level base (Art. No. AC030-4).

For mounting the clamping ring or the Clearaudio swing base.

2.2 Mounting the clamping ring

If the clamping ring is not necessary you can proceed with point 3.

Attach the aluminium clamping ring to the clean surface of the turntable chassis using the included

M4 x 10 hex socket head cap screws and the matching hex wrench (#3).

Make sure that the clamping ring sits perfectly at on the mounting surface.

Mounting the aluminum clamping ring on a non-Clearaudio turntable:

To install the aluminium clamping ring on the turntable chassis, you will need to drill the required

holes. Please refer to the drilling template shown below (Pic. 7) for the measurements to mark the

exact drilling holes.

Please be informed, that this drawing is not suitable for use as a mounting tool.

Use a 3.3mm HSS drill bit, then cut an M4 thread into each hole using an appropriate tap cutting

tool.

If the turntable chassis material is not suitable for cutting threads, please use a 4.5mm HSS drill bit

to drill the holes through the material. In this case use standard bolts and nuts to x the arm base.

3. Mounting of the

TT5

tonearm

Guide rst the tonearm cable, followed by the foot of the tonearm through the aluminium clamping

ring, swing base, or tonearm base. Next, set the approximate height and position of the

tonearm and secure it with the arm locking screw in

the aluminium clamping ring, swing base, or tonearm

base (see Pic. 8).

To adjust the position of the tonearm, we recommend

the Clearaudio Cartridge alignment gauge

(Art. No. AC005/IEC; www.analogshop.de).

You can also use a common ruler for this purpose.

Thedistanceofthespindletothecentreoftheclamping

Now you can remove the rubber band that serves as a carriage lock.

4. Mounting of the cartridge

Important note: To avoid any damage to your cartridge during assembly, please leave

the stylus guard on your cartridge and proceed very carefully.

Make sure that the tonearm height allows enough space above the turntable platter to mount

the cartridge. Using the screws supplied (M2.5 x 12 or M2.5 x 14), attach the cartridge on to the

aluminium headshell.

Next, connect the pins to the cartridge contacts.

adjustment

5.1 Setting the position

Use the enclosed alignment gauge to measure the distance from the tip of the needle to the front

edge of the tonearm slide (see Pic. 12). The optimum measurement is 64mm.

To adjust it, slightly open both screws on top of the tonearm carriage using the #1.5 hex wrench

and move the headshell into the correct position.

64mm

5.2 Pre-adjustment of the tracking force

Note: This step requires removing the stylus guard from the cartridge.

Please proceed with great care to avoid any damage.

Use one of the counterweights supplied to adjust the tracking force, so that the cartridge is lowered

with minimal force. The choice of the counterweight will depend on the weight of the cartridge.

Our recommendation:

Weight size 1 for cartridges weighing 7g

Weight size 3 for cartridges weighing 8g

Weight size 4 for cartridges weighing 12g

This tonearm is suitable for cartridges with a weight of 5.5g or more. If your cartridge is lighter, use

a weight between the headshell and the cartridge (headshell plate is not included).
