Cartridge set up 

 

Jasmine JS-TA297 tonearm come with a dedicated 
cartridge setup protractor. 
 

 

 
 
Step 1:  Adjust VTA , Vertical Tracking Angle 
(VTA) describes the angle between a line, from 
cantilever pivot to stylus contact area,  and the 
record surface.  While this angle is manufactured 
into the cartridge, VTA will require setting when 
installing the phono cartridge to a tonearm.  On a 
pivoting tonearm, a final VTA setting may be 
arrived at by raising or lowering the tonearm at it's 
base mounting.  Raising the entire tonearm will 
increase VTA, lowering will decrease VTA. 
 
Usually, the VTA will be OK when the tonearm 
wand is parallel to the surface of the vinyl.  
 
Step 2:   Place the protractor, According to the 
instructions on the protractor, place the protractor 
properly, and please pay attention to whether the 
straight line pointing to the arm pivot is aligned or 
not.
