Fixing to the headshell

The thread size of the mounting holes of the XV-1 is

M2.5, so please use the enclosed screws to mount the

cartridge. Please note that the mount ing holes are 4mm

depth. Screws that are too long will damage the car tridge

body.

The cartridge should be aligned according to the arm

manufacturers instructions. They will nor mal ly supply a

protractor for this purpose.

Connection

Connect the lead wires from the headshell to each pin

shown below. Best performance is obtained if you use the

en closed lead wires that are 6N copper wire.

Please note that you should check “ Absolute Phase” to

your systems when you could not obtain a good re sult.

Because XV-1s is a very sensitive cartridge to “Ab so lute

Phase”.

Stylus Cleaning

Keep your records clean. Dust causes record wear and

sonic distortion. When cleaning the stylus use the soft

brush supplied with the cartridge. Brush only from back

to front to avoid damage to the stylus assembly. If a dark

deposit like tan should appear on the stylus tip, always

use the soft brush with a minimum amount of high qual-

ity stylus cleaning fl uid. No-alcohol stylus cleaning fl uid is

recommended in a routine maintenance.

We do not recommend to use commercial cleaning vi-

brators.
