2. Mounting procedure
Take the cartridge out of the packaging. To avoid damage, we
recommend leaving the needle guard on the cartridge while mounting
the cartridge onto the tonearm.
Use the screws provided to mount your Clearaudio MM cartridge
(The cartridge threads in the body comply with the metric standard
for M 2.5mm screws and have the standard spacing of 12.7mm).
Be careful not to over-tighten the screws as they may strip
the threaded holes.
Now connect the pins of your Clearaudio cartridge to the jacks of
the headshell or tonearm cable, taking care not to use too much
force. If necessary, you can use suitable precision pliers or tweezers
for assistance.
Please note the colour coding below in order to ensure the correct
phase in music playback, otherwise an audible sound deterioration
would result.

We recommend the following order of assembly:
1. Mount the MM cartridge into the tonearm.
2. Connect the tonearm or turntable ground with the
preamplier ground (before plugging in the electrical
power supply).
3. Plug the tonearm cable into the phono inputs of your
preamplier.
4. Turn down the volume control to a minimum position
(position 0).
5. Plug the mains power cord into your electrical power
supply.
Our tip for mounting the cartridge:
Choose a bright workplace and good tools, and take your time so
you can concentrate.

3. Adjustment of the tracking force
Carefully remove the needle guard from the cartridge by grasping it
with your thumb and forenger and gently pulling it forward.
The correct tracking force for your MM cartridge can be found in the
technical data in this user manual. Please only use these values, since
if the tracking force is too light (1g or less) the cartridge could spring
out of the record groove and damage the needle.
However, you should never set a tracking force of more than 5g as
this could cause damage to the diamond and thus to the cartridge. In
the event that it is not possible to set the optimal tracking force due
the cartridge being too light, you should use a space plate available
from your Clearaudio importer/dealer.
Further valuable information for the correct adjustment of your
cartridge can be found in the respective user manual of the turntable
and/or tonearm manufacturer.

4. Special instructions
• Before playing a record, please remove all dust and dirt from
the record’s surface using a quality cleaning device. For the best
results, a record cleaning machine should be used.
Ask your dealer about Clearaudio´s Matrix cleaning machines.
• Please note:
Never disconnect your tonearm cable from your pre-amplier
while your unit is still on. Please switch your pre-amplier o
before starting to disconnecting your tonearm connectors from
the phono inputs of your pre-amplier.
• Always keep the stylus tip clean. When dirt is allowed to build
up and records are played with a dirty or clogged stylus, a
buzzing noise may be heard. Use a high quality cleaning brush or
Clearaudio cleaning uid to clean the stylus tip. Be extremely
careful and always brush only from back to front. When using a
liquid e.g. from Clearaudio or other organic cleaner, always take
care not to spill any on the cartridge body. Make sure the liquid
only contacts the stylus tip or boron cantilever.
• Always use the original packaging when shipping the cartridge
and secure the needle protector with a rubber band.
• If any service or repair to a Clearaudio product is necessary,
please contact your dealer / distributor or contact Clearaudio
directly. We can advise you of your nearest service location.
