Mounting the aluminum clamping ring on a non-Clearaudio turntable:
To install the aluminum clamping ring on the turntable chassis, you will need to drill the required
holes. Please refer to the drilling template shown below (Picture 4) for the measurements to mark
the exact drilling holes.
Please be informed, that this drawing is not suitable for use as a mounting tool.
Use a 3.3 mm HSS drill bit, then cut an M4 thread into each hole using an appropriate tap cutting
tool.
If the turntable chassis material is not suitable for cutting threads, please use a 4.5 mm HSS drill bit
to drill the holes through the material. In this case use standard bolts and nuts to x the arm base.

2.5 Further adjustments
2.5.1 Tracking force pre-set up
Please check or adjust the tracking force always without a record on the platter! and according to
the cartridge manufacturer`s specication. Please ensure that the height of the measuring platform
on your tracking force gauge is the same height as a record to get an accurate measurement.
The Clearaudio Smart Stylus Gauge or Clearaudio Weight Watcher are recommended.
2.5.2 Adjustment of the tonearm height (Vertical-Tracking-
Angle / VTA)
You can change the height of your tonearm by loosening the two
locking screws on the side of the
tonearm mounting base (Pic. 7). After loosing the screws, you can
move the arm up or down to achieve the required height.
Tighten both screws when nished. Please pay attention to adjust the
tonearm tube parallel to the turntable chassis!
Re-check tracking force after adjusting VTA.

2.5.3 Alignment of the tonearm
For the further set-up of the tonearm, you need the cartridge
alignment gauge which is included as well.
Slide the gauge over the spindle of the turntable platter and
turn the platter into the position as shown on the beneath
picture.
Lift down the cartridge and place the diamond tip of the
cartridge on the reference point of the alignment gauge and
make sure that the edges of the tonearm tube are absolutely
parallel to the marking lines printed on the cartridge
alignment gauge. For that adjustment it is necessary to
take a look directly from the top on the tonearm and the
alignment gauge.
If you have to change the position of the diamond tip you
can unscrew the allen screw on the top of the tonearm`s
headshell and move the cartridge into the corresponding
position. Please make also sure that the leading edge of
the cartridge is parallel to the marker lines of the cartridge
alignment gauge. Fix the right position through looking the
headshell screw on the top.
During nal tonearm and cartridge installation, always take
a look from the top onto the alignment gauge, to avoid any
parallax errors.

2.5.4. Adjustment of the Azimuth
The azimuth indicates the angle of the stylus relative to the
record, viewed from the front. It should be exactly 90°.
The Azimuth is already preset at factory.
If you need to change the azimuth, please loosen the screw
on the under side of the tonearm near the headshell using
the 1.5 mm allen key (Pic 10). Now you can change the
azimuth. Once the adjustment is nished, lock the screw on
the under side of the arm tube near the headshell.
The installation is done correctly, when at the same time the
armtube is parallel to the marking lines on the gauge, the
diamond tip is on the reference point and the leading edge
of the cartridge is parallel to the lines on the gauge.
Finally lock all screws that had been involved during the
adjustments.

2.5.5. Adjustment of the Tracking force
By loosen the screw on the counterweight on the tonearm-tube you ou can adjust the tracking force
of your cartridge by moving the counterweight (shown in the picture below).
red arrow (to the end of the tonearm)
= lesser tracking force
green arrow (to the beginning of the
tonearm)
= more tracking force

2.5.6 Adjustment of the Anti-Skating
You will nd the Anti – skating adjustment wheel on the bottom of the tonearm (Pic. 13).
The factory installation is preset for a clearaudio MM cartridge at tracking force 2.4 grams and
marked with a black stripe on the bolt (view bottom up).
You can change your Anti-Skating:
Clockwise (max. 5 turns)= more Anti - Skating
Counter – clockwise (max. 5 turns) = less Anti - Skating
With 4 turns = Tracking force is 2.2 grams
With 3 turn = Tracking force is 2.4 gram
For a perfect Anti-Skating we recommend the
Clearaudio Test record (LPT43039) available at
www.analogshop.de or contact your nearest dealer or
distributor.
The general set-up is now nished.
Now you can connect your Verify tonearm now with
the phono input of your phono-preamplier.
Attention:
Before the rst use or after a long storage, please apply the lift unit up and down
approximately 4-5 times, so that the oil inside can dissolve in order that the lift unit can
move smoothly.
