Mounting the aluminum clamping ring 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 4) 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.

2.5 Further adjustments

2.5.1 Tracking force pre-set up

Please check or adjust the tracking force always without a record on the platter! and according to

the cartridge manufacturer`s specication. Please ensure that the height of the measuring platform

on your tracking force gauge is the same height as a record to get an accurate measurement.

The Clearaudio Smart Stylus Gauge or Clearaudio Weight Watcher are recommended.

2.5.2 Adjustment of the tonearm height (Vertical-Tracking-

Angle / VTA)

You can change the height of your tonearm by loosening the two

locking screws on the side of the

tonearm mounting base (Pic. 7). After loosing the screws, you can

move the arm up or down to achieve the required height.

Tighten both screws when nished. Please pay attention to adjust the

tonearm tube parallel to the turntable chassis!

Re-check tracking force after adjusting VTA.

Pic. 9: Adjustment of the tonearm height

2.5.3 Alignment of the tonearm

For the further set-up of the tonearm, you need the cartridge

alignment gauge which is included as well.

Slide the gauge over the spindle of the turntable platter and

turn the platter into the position as shown on the beneath

picture.

Lift down the cartridge and place the diamond tip of the

cartridge on the reference point of the alignment gauge and

make sure that the edges of the tonearm tube are absolutely

parallel to the marking lines printed on the cartridge

alignment gauge. For that adjustment it is necessary to

take a look directly from the top on the tonearm and the

alignment gauge.

If you have to change the position of the diamond tip you

can unscrew the allen screw on the top of the tonearm`s

headshell and move the cartridge into the corresponding

position. Please make also sure that the leading edge of

the cartridge is parallel to the marker lines of the cartridge

alignment gauge. Fix the right position through looking the

headshell screw on the top.

During nal tonearm and cartridge installation, always take

a look from the top onto the alignment gauge, to avoid any

parallax errors.

2.5.4. Adjustment of the Azimuth

The azimuth indicates the angle of the stylus relative to the

record, viewed from the front. It should be exactly 90°.

The Azimuth is already preset at factory.

If you need to change the azimuth, please loosen the screw

on the under side of the tonearm near the headshell using

the 1.5 mm allen key (Pic 10). Now you can change the

azimuth. Once the adjustment is nished, lock the screw on

the under side of the arm tube near the headshell.

The installation is done correctly, when at the same time the

armtube is parallel to the marking lines on the gauge, the

diamond tip is on the reference point and the leading edge

of the cartridge is parallel to the lines on the gauge.

Finally lock all screws that had been involved during the

adjustments.

2.5.5. Adjustment of the Tracking force

By loosen the screw on the counterweight on the tonearm-tube you ou can adjust the tracking force

of your cartridge by moving the counterweight (shown in the picture below).

red arrow (to the end of the tonearm)

= lesser tracking force

green arrow (to the beginning of the

tonearm)

= more tracking force

2.5.6 Adjustment of the Anti-Skating

You will nd the Anti – skating adjustment wheel on the bottom of the tonearm (Pic. 13).

The factory installation is preset for a clearaudio MM cartridge at tracking force 2.4 grams and

marked with a black stripe on the bolt (view bottom up).

You can change your Anti-Skating:

Clockwise (max. 5 turns)= more Anti - Skating

Counter – clockwise (max. 5 turns) = less Anti - Skating

With 4 turns = Tracking force is 2.2 grams

With 3 turn = Tracking force is 2.4 gram

For a perfect Anti-Skating we recommend the

Clearaudio Test record (LPT43039) available at

www.analogshop.de or contact your nearest dealer or

distributor.

The general set-up is now nished.

Now you can connect your Verify tonearm now with

the phono input of your phono-preamplier.

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.
