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.
