4.3. Balancing the Tonearm
Proper tonearm balance is crucial for optimal sound clarity and to minimize wear on your records and stylus.
- Retire el protector del lápiz.
- Unlock the tonearm using the tonearm lock.
- Lift the cueing lever.
- Coloque el brazo fonocaptor sobre el plato.
- While holding the headshell, lower the cueing lever without letting the needle touch the platter.
- Turn the counterweight until the tonearm floats parallel to the mat. It should be as level as possible.
- Once balanced, return the tonearm to the tonearm rest and lock it in place.
4.4. Setting Tracking Force and Anti-Skating
This is an important step for proper playback and stylus longevity.
- Turn only the counterweight indicator ring to '0' on the center line. Do not turn the entire counterweight.
- Turn the entire counterweight counter-clockwise until the number '2' is on the center line. This sets the tracking force to 2 grams, which is optimal for the Ortofon OM10 cartridge.
- Locate the small anti-skating dial next to the tonearm base. Set this dial to '2', matching the tracking force.
