4. Important notes

4.1 Adjustment of the tracking force

Never check or adjust the tracking force when there is a record on the platter.

Always remove the record rst. The pre-adjusted and recommended tracking force for the

Clearaudio

concept MM

cartridge is 2.2g (± 0.3g) and for the Clearaudio

concept mc

cartridge

is 2.2g (± 0.2g).

4.3 Adjustment of the anti-skating force

Again, since everything on the turntable is pre-

assembled and tested, including tonearm and cartridge,

there is usually no need to change any of the

concept

turntable parameters.

If you wish to change your cartridge and to adjust the

anti-skating force, please refer to your nearest qualied

dealer or service personnel.

Your dealer will nd the anti-skating adjuster on the

underside of the turntable.

Clearaudio assumes no liability for incorrect handling or any damage caused if non-qualied

persons attempt the above adjustments.

4.2 Adjustment of the tonearm height

Since everything on the turntable is pre-assembled

and tested, including tonearm and cartridge, there

is usually no need to change any parameters on the

concept

turntable. If you wish to change the height

of your tonearm, please refer to your nearest qualied

dealer or service personnel.

Your dealer can make the height adjustment by

loosening the locking screw on the side of the tonearm

base of your turntable.

Clearaudio assumes no liability for incorrect handling or any damage caused if non-qualied

persons attempt these adjustments.

4.4 Fine speed adjustment

There is no need to check the speed before using the turntable for the rst time as the motor

adjustment is already pre-set at the factory.

We recommend the Clearaudio Stroboscope Testrecord (Art. No. AC038) and the Clearaudio

“Speed Light” (Art. No. AC039, both available at www.analogshop.de) to adjust the speed as

perfectly and precisely as possible.

On the rear side of your turntable (close to the power supply input) there are three speed setting

controls:

- Left control = setting 78rpm

- Middle control = setting 45rpm

- Right control = setting 33 1/3rpm

(near power supply jack)
