Setting up the RB330 tonearm
The Planar 3 50th Anniversary Edition comes
fitted with an Exact moving magnet (MM)
cartridge.
Ensure that the tracking force dial (A) and
bias adjustment slider (B) are both set to zero.
Place the balance weight (C) on to the balance
weight shaft. With the stylus guard removed,
position the cartridge above the lead-in groove
of an LP. Whilst supporting the headshell,
carefully push the weight further up the shaft
until the stylus is floating just 1mm clear of the
record.
The recommended tracking force can now
be applied using the tracking force dial. The
correct tracking force for the Exact cartridge is
1.75g. Always use a force which corresponds
to the upper limit of the cartridge makers
recommended range. Finally, push the bias
adjustment slider to the same number as the
tracking force control.
