the fader knob closer to you will increase the pitch. The Pitch Slider is enclosed in an Interchangeable/Replaceable
Cartridge.
10. Pitch Button
This button allows the turntable pitch range of the pitch fader to be adjusted.
11. Quartz Button
This button locks the pitch at 0% using Quartz Motor Control when it is pressed.
Tone Arm Parts
12. Counterweight and Scale Ring and S-Weight
The Counterweight is used to balance the head shell and
cartridge assembly so that the proper amount of stylus
pressure is applied to the record. The S-Weight should be used
in most cases when the S-Shaped tube is used. It is fastened to
the tonearm by threading it into the rear weight balance shaft.
The S-weight can be stored below the counterweight in the top
cabinet while not in use.
13. Height Adjust Ring
Turning this ring counter-clockwise raises the tonearm up to
6mm to accommodate for different Slipmat thicknesses. This
ring can not be adjusted unless the Height Lock Lever (12) is
unlocked.
14. Height Lock Lever
Turning this lever towards the direction of the arrow (clockwise)
unlocks the Height Adjust Ring (11) so that the tonearm height
can be adjusted.
15. Anti-Skate Adjustment
This knob is used to compensate for inward tracking forces. See
tonearm setup for more details on its settings.
16. Secondary Tube Lock Collar
This collar is used to secure the tonearm tubes (straight or s-
shaped) to the tonearm assembly.
WARNING:
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THIS LOCK COLLAR!
WARNING:
CONNECTING HEADSHELLS TO THIS COLLAR MAY DAMAGE
THE INTERNAL PIN HEIGHTS OF THE CONTACTS! ONLY
CONNECT NUMARK TUBES TO THE SECONDARY TUBE LOCK
COLLAR.
17. Arm Clip
This specially designed arm clip secures the tone arm while it is
being transported or not in use. The arm clip has been designed
to remain in the up position while unlocked.
18. Tonearm Cue System
This cueing system allows the tone arm to be positioned at a
certain point above the record and slowly engaged. When the
lift lever is in the up position the tone arm should rest on the
armrest. When the lift lever is lowered, the tone arm is slowly
lowered until the stylus is resting on the record.
19. Tone Arm Lock Nut
This Aluminum nut is used to secure the
head shell and cartridge assembly to the
tone arm tube. See cartridge setup for more
details.
