tonearm mounting on a non-Clearaudio turntable

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

holes. Please refer to the drilling template shown below (Picture 9) 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 3.3 mm 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 4.5 mm HSS drill bit

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

tracking force of the cartridge.

Turning clockwise = slover anti-skating

Turning counter clockwise = stronger anti-skating

Bigger wheel for anti-skating adjustment

Adjustment anti-skating: Tracking force:

Minimal anti-skating >> 10 - 15 mN

Medium anti-skating >> 15 - 20 mN

Maximum anti-skating >> 20 mN and more

3.4 Adjustment of the damping

For dierent sound eects, during playback, you can adjust the damping (the distance of the

magnets) by turning the smaller wheel on the top side of the

Magnify

tonearm.

Turning clockwise = stroner damping

Turning counter clockwise = slower damping

Smaller wheel for damping adjustment

Pic. 13: Adjustment of the damping

Attention:

Before the rst use or after a long storage, please apply the lift unit up and down approximately 4-5

times, so that the oil inside can dissolve in order that the lift unit can move smoothly.
