Tonearm fitting Instructions

The RB250 is one of the most popular tonearms in the
World. It is fitted as standard to the famous Rega P2
turntable and is also the choice of many other
turntable manufacturers on an OEM basis. You will
see a photograph most months in nearly all hi-fi
magazines globally of a Rega built tonearm.

The Rega RB250 tonearm is a precision crafted
product. To create the low friction levels and meet
minimum mass requirements many parts of the arm
are delicate and require careful handling. The arm
should always be treated with respect

and under no circumstances should any part be
removed or tampered with.

Fitting

With the cartridge fitted and aligned using the
alignment protractor supplied, ensure that the bias
adjustment slider is set to zero. Screw the balance
weight along its shaft until the stylus is “floating” just
1mm clear of the record.

The recommended tracking force can now be applied
by rotating the balance weight so that it moves
towards the front of the arm. A half turn gives 1g
tracking force. The black plastic plugs on the weight
can be use a force which corresponds to the upper
limit of the cartridge makers recommended range.

Set the bias adjustment slider to the same number as
the tracking force control -

i.e. 1 1/2 g tracking force = 1 1/2 on the bias slider.

Your RB250 is now ready for use.
