How to Adjust Turntable Cartridge Overhang

Properly aligning your cartridge ensures the best sound quality and prevents premature wear on your vinyl records. Follow these three steps using the diagram in SFK0135.JPG as your guide:

1. Mount the Gauge

  • Fit the included overhang gauge securely onto the headshell.
  • Keep the mounting screws slightly loose so you can still slide and rotate the cartridge during adjustment.

2. Set the Overhang Distance (52 mm)

  • Slide the cartridge forward or backwards within the headshell slots.
  • Line up the stylus tip precisely with the very end edge of the gauge, which establishes the required 52 mm distance from the base of the headshell.

3. Align for Squareness (Facing)

  • Look at the headshell from directly above to ensure the cartridge is not twisted.
  • The cartridge body must be perfectly parallel with the sides of the headshell.

Alignment Check

Refer to the three bottom illustrations in SFK0135.JPG to confirm your alignment:

Alignment Visual Guide Status
Perfectly Straight Left Illustration CORRECT (O)
Twisted Inward Middle Illustration INCORRECT ($\mathbf{\oslash}$)
Twisted Outward Right Illustration INCORRECT ($\mathbf{\oslash}$)

💡 Pro-Tip: Once both the 52 mm distance and parallel alignment are perfect, carefully tighten the screws in an alternating pattern so the cartridge doesn't shift out of place.
