Руководство по настройке

3. Tonearm and Cartridge Setup (RB220 Tonearm with Carbon Cartridge)

The RB220 tonearm features an automatic bias setting, simplifying setup. The Carbon cartridge is pre-installed.

1. Remove the stylus guard from the Carbon cartridge.
2. Slide the counterweight onto the rear stub of the tonearm.
3. Adjust the counterweight until the tonearm floats freely and is perfectly balanced horizontally. This is the zero-tracking force position.
4. Once balanced, carefully push the counterweight inwards towards the pivot until it aligns with the recommended tracking force for the Carbon cartridge (typically 2g). The RB220's automatic bias will compensate for this setting.

1. Connect the RCA cables from the turntable to the "Phono" input on your amplifier or external phono pre-ampпожизненнее.
2. Connect the ground wire (if present) from the turntable to the ground terminal on your amplifier or phono pre-ampпожизненнее.
3. Connect the power supply to the turntable and then plug it into a wall outlet.
