INITIAL SETUP, INSTALLATION, AND ASSEMBLY: 

4.1.1 Unpack the eccentric counterweight and gently, holding the 

arm in such a way that you won’t damage the tonearm or the pivot 

push it into the weight mount, located in the back of the tonearm. 

It is recommended that you twist the counterweight left and right 

while pushing in the counterweight, this will help to let it slide in.

Moving the eccentric counterweight left and right will shift the 

tonearm center of gravity, allowing it to tilt.

4.1.2 Level the eccentric counterweight to allow the tonearm to be 

as leveled as possible, as we will continue the final adjustments 

on page 10 of this manual.

4A. TONEARM SETUP AND CALIBRATION 

(FACTORY 

ASSEMBLED)

:

Please read the following steps carefully!

The tonearm is factory calibrated and leveled, but the shipping 

and handling of the turntable can modify the factory settings.

A correct tonearm and cartridge calibration will ensure the best 

audio quality and will extend the life of the stylus tip and your 

records, so please take time and care to set your turntable 

carefully and correctly.

Small screwdriver to set the cartridge (Not Provided).

Set of Allen keys 1/16 for all adjustments except for the tonearm 

mount 9/64 (Not Provided).

Digital Scale (Provided).

Protractor and VTA Scale (Provided).

4A.1 PRE-SET THE CARTRIDGE WEIGHT:

The final downforce (weight) of the cartridge will be adjusted on 

page 10 of this manual. This pre-set is for allowing you to 

measure and align the cartridge correctly.

4A.1.1 Unpack the digital scale and insert the batteries (Included). 

Place the scale on top of the platter, carefully turn it on and wait 

for 2 secods for the scale to tare.

4A.1.3 Using the tonearm lifter, very carefully position the stylus 

on the black dot of the scale and allow it to measure the weight.

3. LEVELING THE TURNTABLE:

Before placing the turntable on its final position, make sure that 

the surface on which the turntable will be mounted is solid, flat 

and stable.
