1. Unpacking:
The tonearm with accessories is packed in one box. Before unpacking the individual parts of
the tonearm, make some space and check that your turntable has the right tonearm cutout.
Content:
Bearing base, tube base, armbase. PVC bottle with silicone oil, Allen keys: 1.5, 2, and 3 mm,
cartridge mounting hex screws M2.5 mm non magnetic, geometry protractor.
Optional:
finger lift for headshell.
2. Basic setup:
Note: When mounting the tonearm on a Stabi S 12 turntable no armbase is required. Check
the turntable instruction manual to see how to mount the tonearm and then skip to the
'Bearing base' section of these instructions.
Note: When mounting Stogi S 12 on other turntables, an armbase with an appropriate
cutout is required. There should be adequate space for the counterweights and counterweight
rod when the tonearm is in the 'rest' and inner groove positions. Clearance between the lower
edge of the platter and the armboard should be 28-30 mm minimum.
Note: To mount the cartridge, tweezers and a tracking force gauge will be needed
Note: Silicone oil should be poured into the bearing base after all cartridge adjustments have
been made.
Note: Remove parts from protective plastic bags.
Armbase:
Locate the black armbase and the three hex screws. Position the armbase over the cutout on
the turntable armboard and fix screws to nuts using Allen key (3 mm). Ensure that the
screws are long enough to go through the armboard into nuts. Also that the screw for height
and VTA adjustment is accessible with an Allen key (1.5 mm), i.e. away from the platter.
Bearing base:
Lift the base from the box. Insert the bearing base into the armbase and position so that the
chromium plated cylinder for the cueing device is facing the front of the turntable. Gently fix
the height with Allen key so that the top of the bearing shaft is on a level with the top of the
platter.
If mounting on a Stabi S 12 turntable, first locate and remove the brass pillar of the turntable
by releasing the VTA locking screw ( Allen key 3 mm). Insert the bearing base into the
brass pillar on the side which does not have threaded holes. The gap between the top of the
pillar and the bottom part of the oil reservoir on the bearing base should be between 5 - 10
mm.
Observe the two screws and fix the bearing base into the pillar with Allen key (3 mm).
Position the brass pillar into the T base of the turntable so that the tonearm bearing shaft is
near to the platter spindle. At the same time both screws should be symmetrical but further
away. See fig 2.
