  • Fòs Suivi: The recommended tracking force for the Classic MM cartridge is typically around 2.0 grams. Due to the magnetic suspension, it is recommended to set the tracking force at the height of the platter for accurate readings. Use a digital stylus force gauge for precision.
  • Anti-Patinaj: The anti-skating adjustment is located underneath the base of the platter. This adjustment counteracts the inward force on the tonearm, ensuring even wear on the stylus and proper channel balance. Adjust it carefully while playing a record or using a test record.
  • VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) / Azimuth: These are typically factory-set for the pre-mounted cartridge. Refer to advanced setup guides if further adjustment is desired.
