Don’t worry, the belt will automatically level itself
when spinning. A Direct Drive Permanent Magnet
AC Synchronous Motor, which is synced to the
AC power line’s unuctuating frequency, assures a
precise speed is maintained.
Belt Pulley- 50Hz Verses 60Hz
For units shipped in North America, a Belt Pulley
designed for 60Hz is installed. For units shipped
outside of North America, a 50Hz Belt Pulley is
installed. Since some countries use both 50Hz and
60Hz frequencies, a 60Hz Belt Pulley is included
in units shipped outside North America. The 60Hz
Belt Pulley is the smaller of the two. To change the
Belt Pulley, use the supplied Small Allen Wrench
to loosen the two bolts at the base of the belt Pulley
and then pull upward to remove. Reverse this
procedure to install the Belt Pulley.
The Cartridge and the Stylus
Included and installed on the MTI100 is the
Olympia Oyster Series Moving Magnet Cartridge
which is McIntosh part number 32065000. If the
stylus becomes damaged or worn, there is no need
to replace the entire cartridge- a new stylus can be
ordered (McIntosh part number 310649SP).
Cartridge Alignment
The cartridge has been expertly aligned at our
factory. You do not need to align the cartridge
when rst setting up the MTI100.We do include an
Alignment Jig for for setting up a new cartridge.
To align a cartridge:
Remove the record mat for best results.
Slip the rounded opening on one end of the
Alignment Jig around the rounded section of the
shaft supporting the tonearm. The Jig will t just
below the more rectangular section with a slight
bend in the Jig. Place the Jig’s hole over the record
spindle.
Figure 14– Alignment jig
Carefully move the tonearm. The stylus should
(gently) land on the dot in the center of the grid
pattern, and the edge of the cartridge should be
parallel with the grid lines.
To adjust the cartridge, loosen the two screws holding
the cartridge to the cartridge shell. Use the supplied
Large Allen wrench. Loosen just enough to be able
to make slight adjustments to the cartridge position.
Using care (and patience) adjust the cartridge
position until the stylus falls on the center dot of the
grid pattern and the edge of the cartridge is parallel
with the grid lines. Then, tighten the screws.
