tonearm mounting

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 2) 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.

be damaged! Now x the tonearm with the 2 screws on the right and the left side, not to much, so

that you can adjust it in the next steps!

Insure that the distance from the spindle to the pivot point of the tonearm is exactly 222 mm.

Moving the armboard in one direction or another will allow you to locate the correct position.

Once located, tighten the armboard down. Shown in the picture below. You can also use the optional

Clearaudio

cartridge alignment gauge

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

For the exact adjustments should be the cartridge mounted!

VTA adjustments are accomplished by loosening the lock screw on the side of the armboard base

(shown in picture 5). Once loose, you can move the arm up or down to achieve the desired VTA.

Tighten the screw when nished. Re-check tracking force after adjusting VTA.

Please adjust the tonearm tube parallel to the turntable chassis!

Azimuth adjustments are facilitated through the small (1.5 mm) hex wrench (red marked screw)

on the bottom side of the armwand where the headshell enters the arm tube. Once you loosen this

screw, you´ll be able to rotate the headshell a small amount in either direction. Be sure to tighten

the screw when done.

Wind the counterweight on the tonearm tube. You can adjust the tracking force of your cartridge by

turning the counterweight (shown in the picture below)

(green arrow = more tracking force / red arrow = less tracking force).
