1 ENGLISH About This Guide This manual is for your reference in installing the Shure Whitelabel phonograph cartridge. It also pro- vides information aimed at helping you get the most out of your turntable while using Whitelabel. While reading, open out the last page of the manual. This page contains graphics which will help you follow the instructions in this guide. Features - See Figure 1 - Form and Function - The striking visual design of the cartridge maintains the requirements for proper performance, sonic clarity, and record preservation. - Reliable electrical contact - Tonearm connec- tor designed for most common turntables. In- cludes tension absorbing gasket, limiting abuse and damage caused by over–tightening of car- tridge onto tonearm. - Adjustable overhang (50mm-54mm) - Retains forward and backward adjustment of a standard headshell. - Forward-mass weight displacement design- Cartridge weight is displaced close to the can- tilever for optimal performance. Forward–mass design produces lower tonearm resonance, high- er skip resistance, lower tracking force require- ments, and improved sonic characteristics. - Improved stylus visibility - Lets DJs see where theyre dropping the needle. Install the Whitelabel Cartridge - See Figure 2 Carefully insert the Whitelabel cartridge into the tonearm of your turntable and tighten the tonearm connector. Level Your Tonearm - See Figure 3 1. Twist the counterweight as far back as possible (the tonearm should be poin ing up). 2. Twist the counterweight forward un il he tonearm and cartridge float just above the record. 3. Place the tonearm in the tonearm rest and clamp. Hold the counterweight still and turn the numerical dial to zero. 4. Dial in 2.5 to 3.5 grams. Before setting a tracking force, always make sure your tonearm is levelled correctly.

2 Adjust Stylus Overhang - See Figure 4To adjust the stylus overhang, loosen the screw in the center of the cartridge. Slide the front of the cartridge forward or back, using the tick marks on the housing as a guide, and gently tighten the screw. Each tick mark indicates a one millimeter adjust- ment. About Tonearm Height - The tonearm should be level or pointed only slightly downward. This allows for proper stylus alignment in the record groove. - Many DJs feel that a higher tonearm, combined with a higher tracking force and a forward-posi- tioned cartridge, increases skip resistance while maintaining sound quality; at the same time, a higher tracking force increases record wear. Ex- periment with different settings to find what set- tings work best for your individual style. About Anti–Skate S-Shaped tonearms have a natural pull towards the inside of the record. An i-skate is a tonearm fea- ture that exerts an outward push on the tonearm away from the spindle. Anti-skate has two calibra- tion settings: 1. The dial at the base of the tonearm is a rela ive setting that adds 1–3 grams of outward force. 2. Absolute anti-skate force is adjusted using the two concentric screws on top of the pivot joint. Shure recommends that a qualified turntable technician perform adjustments for absolute anti-skate. To test for anti-skate calibration: 1. Zero the tonearm 2. Set anti-skate to Zero If he tonearm pulls outward, a posi ive anti- skate force exists; seek a turntable technician for calibra ion. If the tonearm pulls inward, a negative anti-skate force exists. Add force using the dial until the tonearm floats freely, with no inward or outward pull. Setting Up the Cartridge and TonearmAn optimal tracking force is determined by a DJs style. Hi-Fi Setup - Figure 5: maximum fidelity and minimal record wear. Position the cartridge at an overhang appropriate for your turntable (see Figure 4). Set a tracking force between 1.5 and 3 grams - 2 grams being the most common setting. Set the anti–skate control to the same number as the track- ing force. 1 2 3 4 OKOK 4-5 mm 3 grams \b
