1. Attaching the Cartridge to the Headshell

3. Adjusting Tonearm Weight (Tracking Force)
Proper tracking force is crucial for optimal sound quality and to prevent damage to your records and stylus. Refer to your turntable's instruction manual for specific guidance on adjusting the tonearm's counterweight and anti-skate settings. A common tracking force for this type of cartridge is approximately 1.5 გრამი, but always verify with your turntable's specifications.
- Balance the tonearm so it floats freely.
- Set the tracking force dial to zero.
- Rotate the counterweight to achieve the recommended tracking force.
- Adjust the anti-skate setting according to your turntable's manual, typically matching the tracking force value.
ოპერაციული
Once installed and adjusted, operate your turntable as usual. Gently lower the tonearm onto the record's lead-in groove. The Audio Technica cartridge is designed to provide a pure, rich, and warm sound with exceptional low and high-frequency delivery.

Stylus Care
- Regularly clean the stylus tip using a soft stylus brush, brushing gently from back to front.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents on the stylus or cartridge.
- Inspect the stylus periodically for wear or damage. A worn stylus can damage your records and degrade sound quality. Replace the stylus if it appears bent, chipped, or excessively worn.
Headshell Cleaning
- Wipe the chrome plated headshell with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the chrome finish.
