INTRODUCTION
The Shure Model C/PEK-3 Phonograph Evaluation Kit is designed for use with
stereo magnetic phonograph cartridges. The
the
stereo
capabilities of discrete quadriphonic phonograph cartridges. Note
C/PEK-3 may also be used to test
that (1) the quadriphonic properties of these cartridges must be evaluated
through listening tests, and
(2)
stylus wear may be more critical in discrete quad-
riphonic cartridges; moderate wear that yields acceptable stereo playback may
seriously affect discrete quadriphonic playback.

Ill. ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT SETUP AND CHECK
The following steps (A-H) refer to drawings (Fig. 1 and 2):
A. Connect the ground wire from the reference turntable to the binding post
marked
"GND"
on the back of the Test Panel.
B. Plug the left channel output from the reference turntable into "B Left" on
the back of the Test Panel.
C. Plug the right channel output from the reference turntable into "B Right"
on the back of the test panel.
D.
Plug the C/PEK-3 power cord into a 120 Vac (50-60 Hz) outlet.
E. A listening test may be performed by connecting the monitor outputs on the
rear of the test panel to the magnetic phono inputs on a stereo amplifier. It
is recommended that a pair of good quality speakers be used. The volume
control of the stereo amplifier will control the listening volume only, and
will not affect the tests.
F.
Connect the "Vert" output on the back of the test panel to the vertical input
of the oscilloscope.
G.
Connect the "Horiz" output on the back of the test panel to the horizontal
input of the oscilloscope.
H.
On the oscilloscope:
1.
Set horizontal input to external.
2.
Set vertical and horizontal sensitivity to approximately 150 mV/cm.
To test the reference turntable, depress the turntable selector switch on the test
panel
("ln:B"), follow the test sequence, start by testing the turntable speed.
TESTING OF CUSTOMER'S SYSTEM
I.
CLEANING AND INSPECTION OF THE STYLUS TIP
A.
Cleaning the Stylus
For the stylus to trace the groove accurately, it must be clean. To clean the
stylus, use a camel's-hair brush (size No. 2 or smaller), trimmed to a length
lh
no longer than
solution (mixed about 50150) and brush the stylus with a forward motion,
from the rear (terminal end) of the cartridge to the front. Never brush or
wipe the stylus from front to rear or from side to side. The alcohol will
remove any sludge deposits which may have coated the stylus.
Note:
All Shure styli may be cleaned in this way. However, for other makes
of pickups, obtain manufacturer's procedure before using the alco-
hol solution, as permanent damage may result.
B.
Stylus Tip Inspection
The stylus tip can be checked with a microscope having a minimum of 200X
magnification, such as the Shure Stylus Evaluation Kit. The stylus should be
positioned under the lens so that the bottom or record side of the tip is facing
the lens. The tip must be illuminated on the two sides corresponding to the
record groove walls. After focusing the image, the wear can be determined
by comparing the image of the tip to the photographs (Figures4 through 12).
inch. Dip the brush in an ethyl alcohol and distilled water
Caution:
A badly worn tip will drastically reduce the life of the test record,
and it is not advisable to continue with the remaining tests except
le turntable speed check.

crosstalk signal
+2 dB would indicate a
18

channel. Meaningful crosstalk measurements
can be made for signals down as much as

reverse the "hot" and ground leads on one channel at the pickup. Choose a channel which has
no ground tab. If this malfunction is found, the
customer should be advised to check the phasing
of his entire stereo system by means of a test
record such as the Shure "Audio Obstacle
Course." Fig. 19 is the pattern observed, using
Band 5, Side

VII.
ANTISKATING FORCE AND TRACKING FORCE
A.
Antiskating Force Explanation
When the stylus contacts the record groove, a certain amount of friction is
present at the stylus tip. As the stylus tracking force increases, this friction
force also increases. This force pulls along a line running through the length
of the body of the pickup. The offset angle (which is used on most tone arms
to reduce the lateral tracking angle error) directs this force in such a relation to the pivot point of the tone arm, as to pull the tone arm in toward the
center of the record. This inward force, called skating force, unbalances
the forces on the groove wall. By adding an outward pulling force, called
antiskating force, to the tone arm, this force can be balanced. The stylus
is then able to exert equal force on both groove walls. Since the skating
force is proportional to the tracking force, any increase in the tracking force
will increase the skating force and will require greater antiskating to balance it. At this time, the antiskating force should still be set to the recommended value of the manufacturer.

EX$LANATION
B. Tracking Force Explanation
The ability of a cartridge to track properly at low tracking force is very de-
sirable; the wear on the record and the stylus is then kept to a minimum.
However, a stylus tracking at a tracking force too light to maintain contact
with the groove wall (mistracking) can cause permanent damage to the recording. Therefore, the proper adjustment of the tracking force is very important in terms of both reducing mistracking distortion and insuring max-
imum stylus and record life.

Note:
A. High Frequency Trackability Test
The high frequency test signal consists of a group of high frequency component
signals, centered at 10.8 kHz and recurring in bursts at
signal could be reproduced without any distortion, only these high frequency
component signals would be detected. However, any alteration of this signal
produces a detectable component signal at 270 Hz.
In a phono reproduction system, distortion results from such system
linearities as tracing distortion, tip indentation, vertical tracking angle error,
stylus dynamics, record wear, electronic signal processing and mistracking.
The contributions to distortion from each of these
tract from one another, yielding a total 270 Hz signal which is unique for a given
set of test conditions. Although mistracking is the dominant contributor to distortion, some confusion may result as it is conceivable that one pickup might
have a larger 270 Hz signal while tracking than another pickup has while
tracking.
However, the mistracking contribution to distortion is not only very large, but
also is typically very unstable, and is, therefore, recognizable.

The modulation of tracking force by a warp
permits the operator to see a particular pickup's distortion both tracking and mistracking,
thus eliminating the confusion due to
nonlinearities other than mistracking. It also suggests the means to separate the contribution
to distortion of mistracking from the other
possible causes, without benefit of a warp.
By
checking the pickup at two different tracking forces on the same band, a large change
in distortion at the lower force would indicate
mistracking at the lower force.
A
small change
in distortion may be expected at the two forces
as a result of indentation, irrespective of
mis-
tracking.
Test Procedure
The C-PEK-3 displays the total 270 Hz com-
ponent signal on
theosci~loscope by depress-
ing the "High" button on the test panel. Begin
the test by playing Band
1, Side 1, of the
TTR-103. The test must begin with the pickup
tracking this band, with appropriate consideration of record warp. The display should
resemble Figure 20. The tracking should be
verified by checking the pickup at two track-
ing forces. Changing the force is easily accomplished by placing a weight on the head
shell and then removing it. The weight should
be about
'/2
gram for pickups in the
3/4
to
11/2
gram range, about 1 gram for pickups in the
11/2
to 3 gram range, and
ups in the 3 to
5
gram range. In some cases,
11/2
grams for pick-
the additional weight will increase the tracking
force beyond the recommended range, but,
for all Shure pickups, no damage will result
during the short observation period.
Fig. 20
Note:
Under no circumstances should the
tracking force be set above the recommended range
for
long
term use.
The test has been designed for high quality
pickups, and many pickups on the market
today will not be able to track the first band,
even at their maximum tracking force. These
pickups are typically those with minimum
tracking forces above
such a pickup, the tracking force should be
set at its maximum recommended force. If a
large, unstable display is observed on Band
(aside from the warp effect), add a weight
and, if any change is detected, the pickup is
mistracking the first band. It is useless to continue with the test since the mistracking point
is less than 15
tomer should be advised to operate the
pickup at the maximum force to minimize the
damage to his records due to excessive
tracking.
Once tracking on the first band has been
established, proceed through Bands
4
or until mistracking occurs as shown in
Figure 21.

continue to play the band, as severe
record damage will result.

cm/sec on the high frequency test, 25 cm/
sec on the mid-frequency test and 15 cmlsec
on the low frequency test. Although some
retesting may be necessary to find the optimum force, the optimum skating compensa-
tion should be set using the high frequency
test and not changed for the mid- and
frequency tests.
In all cases, the observation of mistracking is
enhanced if the operator listens to the signal
while watching the oscilloscope display. Mistracking sounds like a mid-frequency "buzz"
while proper tracking sounds like a high fre-
quency "whistle."

CHECKING
TTR-103 AND TTR-109
A log of usage of the TTR-103 and TTR109 should be maintained, since a record
should be used only for a limited period of
time. After about 25 tests, the record
should be checked
known trackability. The TTR-103 should
be compared to another copy of the
103. The TTR-109 is identical on both
sides, so one side should be compared
to the other. In either case, the cartridge
should exhibit the same tracking capabilities, and a similar pattern should be
observed on the oscilloscope for corresponding bands on the new and used
records. When a major difference is
noted, a new TTR-103 should be used, or
the TTR-109 should be turned to the new
side. When substituting a new TTR-103 or
using Side 2 of TTR-109, a new record
should be ordered, so that one new copy
will always be available.

The exact display for the low- and

when the pickup is mistracking a
band most of the time.
