Clearaudio TT3 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 11

User manual / Bedienungsanleitung
Lift your cartridge down on the record or the linear gauge and make sure that the straight bar or
rod is parallel to the surface of the record or gauge. You will have to loosen the screw in the carriage
holding the headshell in order to change the horizontal position (azimuth) of the cartridge. Lock this
screw again after your adjustments are finished.
The following step will ensure real linear tracking.
You will need the delivered Clearaudio linear gauge for this adjustment.
Place the gauge over the spindle of the platter and turn it under the chassis of the tonearm.
Take special care on the cantilever of the cartridge!
Please remove the LP if used one before! Place the cartridge down and position the diamond on the
black line of the gauge (see pic. 18 ; "red line").
Pic. 18: Adjustment of the linear tracking
Do this step at the „beginning" and also at the „end" of the „record" (imagine that there is now one
on your platter).
This adjustment is successful, if the diamond touches the black line in all positions.
To change the position of the diamond, please unlock the screw on the top of the carriage with the
hex wrench No 2 and move the headshell forward or backward until the diamond sits exact on the
black line.
This adjustment is very important to ensure the real linear tracking ability of your
tonearm.
After this adjustment please check the azimuth of your cartridge again (see 4.2. / page 9) and adjust
the recommend stylus pressure (see cartridge manufacturers user manual).
Attention:
Before the first use or after a long storage, please apply the lift unit up and down approximately 4-5
times, so that the oil inside can dissolve in order that the lift unit can move smoothly.
