Thank you for choosing the Ortofon Moving Magnet
cartridge. At Ortofon we constantly look for new
technology to be used in our products, thus we assure
the highest level of per formance and quality. It is our
aim to bring you many hours of new and surprising
experience in listening to your precious collection.
Warning
This phono cartridge is only for mounting on tonearms
and must not be used for other purposes.
Please note
To avoid damages on the stylus please keep the stylus
guard on the cartridge any time when mounting or
dismounting the unit.
Mounting the cartridge
1. Remove stylus unit with stylus guard before working
with leads and screws. Handle all parts carefully.
2. Please correlate the colour code for the terminals on
the drawing with the colour codings on the cartridge.
For more information please refer to Ortofon HiFi FAQ:
www.ortofon.com/support/support-hifi/faq-installation.
Stylus care
To maintain optimal sound reproduction and to
minimize wear on your record as well as on your
stylus, we recommend the following procedure before
and after each playback: remove dust carefully from
record surfaces by using a fine antistatic brush or
cloth before every use. Ortofon do not recommend
the use of solvents of any kind for cleaning of either
record surface or stylus. If necessary, records may be
washed in lukewarm demineralized water with a dash
of sulphonic soap. The detergents should be allergy- &
environmental friendly, without perfume or as little as
possible: a few drops to a few liters of waters, no lather.
The use of solvents on the stylus and cantilever may
damage stylus cement; interior parts of the cartridge
can be affected seriously by the intrusion of solvents.
The Ortofon warranty service will not be valid in cases
where such treatment has caused malfunction of your
cartridge.

3. Fasten the cartridge to the headshell using a pair
of screws enclosed the packing. Do not tighten the
screws completely before the stylus unit has been
remounted.
4. Adjust tonearm parallel to record surface, set
tracking force and antiskating acc. to the cartridge’s
recommended technical data.

For cleaning the stylus, use fiber brush a few times
along the cantilever in the direction of the stylus tip,
whenever you play a new record or change sides. Use
the brush in the forward direction from the rear of the
cartridge towards the stylus tip and never from stylus
tip to the rear of the cartridge and never from side to
side. This will take all normal dust and most of the
slick release agent from new records. Following this
treatment there will normally be no need for further
stylus cleaning.
Please remember to remove dust from the diamond tip
before and after playback of each record.
