Product Information
Full details
The Ortofon Alignment Tool is a simple, yet essential turntable calibration template that helps find the optimal distance between the needle point and tone arm pivot. It is printed with a zero-point and tangent lines for aligning the cartridge to the cantilever by placing the tool over the turntable spindle using the pre-made hole. Once aligned, any possible 'tracking errors' are kept to an absolute minimum. This protractor tool is used to find the correct distance from stylus tip to tonearm pivot. When aligning a cartridge for tangency using the alignment protractor, it is essential to remember that you are attempting to align the cantilever (and, hence, the stylus), not the cartridge body. There is no guarantee that the cantilever is perfectly aligned within the cartridge body, so simply aligning the cartridge body will not necessarily produce the desired result. Furthermore, many cartridge bodies have non-parallel sides, making tangential alignment of the cartridge body with the lines of tangency on the gauge virtually impossible.
