Terminal connections

Please correlate the colour code for the terminals on the drawing with the colour 
coding on the cartridge.

The terminals for right and left channel have the same position as normal for Ortofon 
cartridges. We recommend the enclosed LW-800S leadwires to be mounted on the 
cartridge and tonearm before aligning and calibrating the cartridge. The length of 
the enclosed lead wires will fit a distance between cartridge and tonearm terminals 
of 35 mm, which will work with most headshells.

Antiskating 

 
Correct bias or anti-skating adjustment is important in order to achieve optimal 
tracking ability and thereby minimum record wear and distortion. For the Ortofon 
Replicant stylus used in MC Anna and MC Anna Diamond just set normal 
antiskating according to recommended tracking force.

Cartridge break-in

Although the MC Anna and MC Anna Diamond will provide top reproduction right 
out of the box, the cartridge may slightly change character during the first tens of 
hours of use. This is completely normal and you may, in fact, find that this adds 
further refinement to your listening experience.
