tonearm mounting
Please keep in mind that these directions are for mounting the
Unify
tonearm on any Clearaudio
turntable.
1. Mount the tonearm base to the respective armboard. Please use the delivered screws.
Mounting the aluminum clamping ring on a non-Clearaudio turntable:
To install the aluminum clamping ring on the turntable chassis, you will need to drill the required holes. Please refer to the drilling template shown below (Picture 2) for the measurements to mark the exact drilling holes.
Please be informed, that this drawing is not suitable for use as a mounting tool.
Use a 3.3 mm HSS drill bit, then cut an M4 thread into each hole using an appropriate tap cutting tool.
If the turntable chassis material is not suitable for cutting threads, please use a 4.5 mm HSS drill bit
to drill the holes through the material. In this case use standard bolts and nuts to x the arm base.
Please note: This drilling template is only for
Unify
9 inch tonearms. You will nd the the correct
pivot to spindle for
Unify
10, 12 and 14 inch in the technical data on page 10.

2. Make sure that the distance from the spindle to the pivot point of the tonearm is exactly 222mm. When moving the armboard in one or another direction you can locate the correct armboard position. Once located, tighten the screws of the armboard.

5. Mount your cartridge according to the manufacturer´s instructions.
6. Use the Clearaudio
Weight Watcher
( Art.No. AC094) or the
Smart Stylus gauge
(Art.No.
AC089) to set tracking force (see cartridge instructions for recommended tracking force renge).
Adjusting tracking force is accomplished by moving the weight towards or away from the pivot
point on the shaft.
Note: When tightening the counterweight, insure that the weight is perfectly vertical otherwise
this may aect your cartridges azimuth settings.
7. Align cartridge for overhang and oset angle using the Clearaudio
Cartridge alignment gauge
(Art. No.AC005/IEC). Once done, re-check tracking force.
8. Feed the anti-skating weight through the anti-skating support wand and secure it to the threaded shaft at the top of the tonearm bell. Note: Attaching the string to the position closes to the pivot point is equal to approx. 0.5g of anti-skate. Each additional 1/8” out on the shaft will give you
another 0.5g of anti-skating force with a maximum of 3.0g if axed to the end of the shaft.

10. Azimuth adjustments are facilitated through the small allen screw on the bottom side of the
armwand where the headshell enters the carbon bre. Once you loosen this screw, you´ll be
able to rotate the headshell a small amount in either direction. Be sure to tighten the screw when done.

Red arrowhead = stronger anti-skating
9. VTA adjustments are accomplished by loosening the two lock screws an the side of the armboard base (approx. at the 10:00 and 2:00 positions). Once loosen, you can moove the arm up or down to achieve the desired VTA.
