Do only turn it for 1 revolution maximum to
release. Now you can attend the large top
knob and set precise horizontal level for the
AXIOM's arm wand.
This procedure shall only be used to fine-tune
the horizontal height!
Do retight side screw after setting is done.
It is of course possible - if not the intention nor
with any positive effects for the performance
of your analog front-end - to use the top VTA-
knob to adjust SRA or VTA.
If possible these cartridge-related alignments
should always be done at the cartridge itself,
to leave all other parameters of the tonearm as
stable and unchanged.
Please don't alter tonearm height for more than
4-8 mm maximum. The general height adjust-
ment is done by selecting the correct stainless
steel washer underneath the mounting board.
The top knob on the VTA-tower is used for
precisely fine-tune the arm wand to horizontal
level only!
Do set the VTA-tower that the arm wand of the
AXIOM is 100% horizontal (i.e. parallel to the
record surface) when the stylus is in the groove.
This isn't essential for general performance, but
it is essential to extract the last bit of minute
detail in your records grooves.
Common VTA/SRA is set at the cartridge
itself - easily done in the AXIOM with fixed
mounting head, as it features the unique
SRA/VTA mechanism of the Arché headshell.
Setting SRA/VTA is a matter of personal taste.
VTA/SRA can only be set "groove-compliant"
- i.e. depending on the cutting angle used to cut
the lathe and plates for the particular record.
These angles do alter over periods and between
labels considerably.
You will find a "common ground"-adjustment
for most of your favorite records.
Aligning the AXIOM
To maximize the performance possible with
the AXIOM, please make sure to align it to
UNI-DIN tangential curve.
It's geometrical design is in conjunction with
UNI-DIN.
For the SME-version of the AXIOM do use
either a SMARTractor© or an
UNI-Protractor© with UNI-DIN
template©.
For the fixed head version of the
AXIOM please do use the genuine template
coming with your fixed head AXIOM only.
For illustration please see pictures on following
pages.
When the alignment is done, please put back all
tools in the accessory-box.
Now enjoy your records.
