- The tracking force is not adjusted simply by turning the tracking force gauge ring.

Choosing the correct counterweight
When using a cartridge other than the one included, choose the correct counterweight for the weight of the cartridge.
- The small counterweight is lighter while the large counterweight is heavier.
Counterweight | Compatible cartridge weight |
---|---|
Counterweight (light) | 6.1 g (0.22 oz) to 9.2 g (0.32 oz) |
Counterweight (heavy) | 9.2 g (0.32 oz) to 13.9 g (0.49 oz) |
- If the cartridge is 9.2 g (0.32 oz), either the light or heavy counterweight can be used, but the light counterweight is recommended.
