For the further setup of the tonearm, you need the
supplied cartridge alignment gauge. Slide the gauge
over the spindle of the turntable platter and turn
the platter into the position as shown on the
beneath picture (Clearaudio emblem shows to the
spindle). Lower the cartridge and place the diamond
stylus of the cartridge on the reference point of the
alignment gauge, making sure that the edges of the
tonearm tube are absolutely parallel to the marked
lines printed on the cartridge alignment gauge.
For this adjustment it is necessary to take a look
directly from above the tonearm and the alignment
gauge.
If you have to change the position of the stylus you
can loosen the hex screws on the top of the
