Ortofon cartridge alignment protractor
An alignment protractor 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.
An alignment protractor is a plastic template onto which are printed the null point(s) and lines of tangency against which the cartridge should be aligned. The template is placed over the turntable's spindle (made possible via a spindle-sized hole drilled in the template) and placed against the platter.
Cartridge must be adjusted until the cantilever is parallel to the set of parallel lines. And this should be achieved for both the indicated points. When the cartridge's longitudinal axis is parallel with the horisontal lines, tracking error will be at a minimum.

Talk about hifipro
It was in 2016 that the idea of an e-commerce site for the sale of new products was born: HIFIPRO. Mario Gagnon, owner of the second-hand Audio store since 1985, nurtured his passion for music since childhood. This enthusiasm allowed him to excel in his studies and projects. Dedication, time and love for sound and its reproduction led him to open his own store. It will quickly become a reference in the sale of high fidelity devices in Canada. He and his colleagues spend a lot of time following progress and new developments in order to stay up to date with the latest technologies. After more than 30 years of success, Used Audio has acquired a very loyal customer base, participated in and obtained several recognitions from consumers and professionals during several exhibitions. For several years now, they have been shipping items across Canada, so Mario decided to create HIFIPRO. It is with great confidence that he and his team are ready to offer you the best products and services. Our goal is to help you make the best possible choice according to your needs and criteria.
