How to use

Attach the headshell to the tonearm by aligning the connector and securing the locking mechanism according to the turntable manufacturer's procedure. Mount the phono cartridge to the headshell's screw holes and connect the cartridge wires to the corresponding pins. Use the removable counterweights to set the desired tracking force: add or remove weight modules and fine‑tune until the tonearm gauge or stylus force meter shows the recommended value for your cartridge. Verify cartridge alignment and azimuth before playback.

Recommendations

When adjusting tracking force, start from the cartridge manufacturer's recommended range and make small incremental changes. Ensure the headshell is clean and free of debris before mounting a cartridge. For accurate setup, use a calibrated stylus force gauge and alignment protractor. Avoid overtightening the cartridge screws to prevent damage.
