Phonograph Cartridge Installation
Cartridge Installation
1. Carefully remove the stylus from the cartridge (see Figure 1).
2. Connect the wires from the headshell to the pins on the cartridge (see
Figure 2). Use the following table for the correct connections.
Note: to prevent "ground loops" and hum, do not make connections
between these terminals.
Color Terminal Lead
Red R Right "hot"
Green RG Right Ground
While L Left "hot"
Blue LG Left Ground
3. Mount cartridge in the headshell and replace stylus (see Figure 3). Do
not force. Note: Screws can be threaded up from the bottom to provide
maximum record clearance.
4. Make the following final adjustments. Consult your turntable
instructions where necessary.
o Cartridge Overhang: If adjustable
o Tracking Force: See Product Specifications for range
recommendations.
o Anti-Skate: If this adjustment is not specified in your turntable
instructions, use the same setting as for tracking force.
o Tonearm Height: If adjustable.
DJ Setup for Heavy Scratching and Back-Cueing
1. For extensive scratching or back-cueing (see Figure 4), the cartridge
should be mounted with a headshell weight to prevent skipping.
