Your Clearaudio Concept MM Turntable comes with a pre-mounted Classic MM cartridge. While factory-set, fine-tuning may be required for optimal sound and stylus longevity.

• Ike nsuso: The recommended tracking force for the Classic MM cartridge is typically around 2.0 grams. Due to the magnetic suspension, it is recommended to set the tracking force at the height of the platter for accurate readings. Use a digital stylus force gauge for precision.

• VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) / Azimuth: These are typically factory-set for the pre-mounted cartridge. Refer to advanced setup guides if further adjustment is desired.
