Mounting the pickup cartridge
You can now mount and adjust your pickup cartridge ac-
cording to the instructions provided with the pickup. Pro-
ceed with making all necessary alignments.
In the following you will nd some comprehensive instruc-
tions concerning the correct mounting and congurations.
However if in doubt you should in any case resort to the
original instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
tonearm or pickup.
Mount the pickup cartridge to the slots in the tonearm‘s
headshell. While doing this it is recommended to have - if
possible - the stylus guard attached to the cartridge in
order to avoid damaging the delicate stylus.
Tonearms supplied by Thorens will always accept pickup
cartridges with standard xing hole distance of 12.5 mm
(1/2”).
Carefully with the help of tweezers attach the colour-cod-
ed litz wires to the respective cartridge pins with identical
colour:

For the time being do not tighten the headshell screws.
Fine-adjustments and xing the cartridge is done after hav-
ing determined tone arm height, off-set and overhang.
HINT: if cartridges from GRADO are to be employed it is
recommended to x them with screws “upside down”. This
means the screws are inserted from underneath through
cartridge holes and headshell slots and the nuts are to x
the screws on top of the headshell.
