Adjust Stylus Overhang — See Figure 4
To adjust the stylus overhang, loosen the screw
in the center of the cartridge. Slide the front of the
cartridge forward or back, using the tick marks on
the housing as a guide, and gently tighten the screw.
Each tick mark indicates a one millimeter adjust-
ment.
About Tonearm Height
• The tonearm should be level or pointed only
slightly downward. This allows for proper stylus
alignment in the record groove.
• Many DJs feel that a higher tonearm, combined
with a higher tracking force and a forward-posi-
tioned cartridge, increases skip resistance while
maintaining sound quality; at the same time, a
higher tracking force increases record wear. Ex-
periment with different settings to find what set-
tings work best for your individual style.
About Anti–Skate
S-Shaped tonearms have a natural pull towards
the inside of the record. An i-skate is a tonearm fea-
ture that exerts an outward push on the tonearm
away from the spindle. Anti-skate has two calibra-
tion settings:
1. The dial at the base of the tonearm is a rela ive
setting that adds 1–3 grams of outward force.
2. Absolute anti-skate force is adjusted using the
two concentric screws on top of the pivot joint.
Shure recommends that a qualified turntable
technician perform adjustments for absolute
anti-skate.
To test for anti-skate calibration:
1. Zero the tonearm
2. Set anti-skate to Zero
If he tonearm pulls outward, a posi ive anti-
skate force exists; seek a turntable technician for
calibra ion. If the tonearm pulls inward, a negative
anti-skate force exists. Add force using the dial until
the tonearm floats freely, with no inward or outward
pull.
Setting Up the Cartridge and Tonearm
An optimal tracking force is determined by a DJ's
style.
Hi-Fi Setup — Figure 5: maximum fidelity and
minimal record wear. Position the cartridge at an
overhang appropriate for your turntable (see Figure
4). Set a tracking force between 1.5 and 3 grams —
2 grams being the most common setting. Set the
anti–skate control to the same number as the track-
ing force.
