dismounting the unit.
MOUNTING THE CONCORDE
CARTRIDGE
Ortofon Concorde cartridge is for direct and easy
mounting on the tonearm, no alignment is required.
THE OPTIMUM TRACKING
WEIGHT SETTING:
Tracking Force Recommended refers to the optimal
weight which will result in the best combination of
groove holding and sound. Take care not to deviate
outside of the Tracking Force Range, as it may result in
skipping, poor sound quality, or unnecessary wear on
your vinyl.
STYLUS CARE
• Remove dust carefully from record surfaces by using a
fi ne antistatic brush before every use.
• We do not recommend the use of solvents of any kind
for cleaning of either record surface or stylus, as they
can weaken the stylus or cause damage to the internal
components of the cartridge.
• For cleaning the stylus, use stylus brush a few times
along the cantilever in the direction of the stylus tip,
whenever you play a new record or change sides. Use
the brush in the forward direction from the rear of the
cartridge towards the stylus tip and never from stylus
tip to the rear of the cartridge and never from side to
side.
• Remove dust from the diamond tip before and after
playback of each record.
• Make sure to follow setup guidelines as suggested by
the specifi cations found in the manual (or found on our
website).
