cartridge is compatible with pre-set P-Mount arm.

THiS CaRTRidGE FEaTURES THE SHURE BiRadiaL NUdE diaMONd Tip

Its contact area is longer and narrower
than the traditional spherical tip-groove
contact area. This results in dramatic
reduction of both harmonic distortion
and inter modulation distortion.

To clean the stylus, use a soft brush
with alcohol or an alcohol-distilled
water solution. Brush only from back to
front as shown. Commercial cleaning
solutions may cause stylus damage.

Mounting

Tracking Force in a P-Mount Arm

After installing the cartridge, it is not usually necessary to adjust the tracking force in a
pre-set arm.

Skating Compensation (where applicable)

Set the skating compensation mechanism according to the tone arm manufacturer’s
instructions.

To Preserve Stylus Life

Protect stylus with stylus guard when dusting turntable
Regulate tone arm set-down to prevent stylus from striking edge of turntable or record.
Do not handle tone arm while record is being played. Use cuing device if available.
If manual set-down is necessary, release arm as soon as stylus engages groove
Do not activate arm without record on turntable.
Do not use damaged records.
Make certain cartridge is correctly mounted in tone arm and stylus is properly inserted in

cartridge.

Use appropriate vertical tracking force for each cartridge and stylus.
