How to use the alignment tool

To ensure optimal performance of your turntable cartridge, it’s important to learn how to effectively utilize our alignment tool. Mounting the cartridge is crucial for consistent playback quality across your records from the outer to the inner grooves.

Proper alignment is necessary for maintaining even playback quality, and our alignment tool makes this process simple. You can achieve precise alignment effortlessly by following these clear instructions.

• Our alignment tool features two distinct points in the middle, as illustrated in the accompanying image. These points are vital for accurate alignment and optimal sound quality. Begin by positioning your cartridge in the middle of the slider holes on the headshell. This serves as a starting point. Once set, use the alignment tool to verify the alignment and make necessary adjustments.
• Carefully place the alignment tool on the record surface. Lift the tonearm and cartridge then gently lower the needle onto the two designated points on the tool, one after the other. Examine the cantilever, the part connecting the needle to the cartridge body, ensuring it is parallel to the reference line marked on the tool. Handle the needle with utmost care during this process.
• Bend down slightly to accurately assess the alignment. If the cantilever is not parallel to the reference line on the tool, adjust the cartridge’s position on the headshell accordingly. Small adjustments can significantly impact playback quality.
