Tonearm Setup - Numark TTXUSB Manual De Inicio Rápido Del Usuario

1. Install cartridge and raise the arm lift for cartridge/stylus protection.
2. Notice how the counterweight can be moved.
3. With the cueing system lift lever down, adjust the weight so entire tonearm assembly is freely
balanced.
4. Zero the scale on the weight by moving the black ring until "0" is aligned with the slot. The tonearm
assembly should still be balanced as shown in Figure 2.
5. Turn the counterweight until the desired weight in grams is met. (Most DJ cartridge specifications
range from 2.0g to 4.0g. Check cartridge manual for details)
Setting the Anti-Skate Adjustment
The Anti-Skate control is the knob shown on the last figure.
In most cases, the Anti-Skate should be set to its minimum setting. Anti-Skate compensates for inward
tracking forces that occur with certain cartridges when the stylus nears the center of the record. If the
turntable is experiencing excessive skipping during back-cueing and scratching while nearing the center
spindle, try increasing the Anti-Skate in the increments indicated on the dial. Start by adding small
increments; test its performance, then increase it as necessary.
The Anti-Skate control is primarily used for high quality recordings in conjunction with the tonearm cuing
system.
OPERATION NOTES
This turntable was designed to accommodate a variety of different mixing styles. Here are some general
operation guidelines to optimize the performance of the turntable.
Use the included Slip Mat during record playback. This Slip Mat was designed to reduce friction
•
between the platter and the record to allow for rapid back cueing and efficient scratch play.
Do not place the turntable on or near a speaker or subwoofer. This may cause unwanted noise
•
depending on the environment conditions.
Always secure the tone arm using the Arm Clip when not in use. This can prevent stylus damage
•
and accidental tone arm engagement.
To reduce needle skipping, follow the guidelines in the Tone Arm Setup section of this manual. Too
•
much weight on a cartridge may cause erratic skipping or stylus damage.
