Product Information
Product description
Hudson Hi-Fi understands sound, along with all the required attention to detail, mirrored in our accessories. Our high-fidelity audio accessories and vinyl display solutions have many applications in elevating the listening experience. Every piece of your audiophile setup matters, which is something our passionate team of designers, engineers, producers, musicians, and Hi-Fi enthusiasts resonates with to a profound extent.
Hudson Hi-Fi's two-point cartridge alignment protractor can help you achieve the required tangency for enhancing sound quality. The stylus should be aligned in such a way that its tip remains as a tangent to the record groove as possible as it moves along across the record. By aligning the tonearm, it is possible to achieve perfect tangency at two pivotal points (null points).
Made of durable 2mm ABS plastic. High-quality print for a clear view. Features two dots where the stylus tip should rest when aligning.
Move the tonearm until it aligns with both points. The stylus should be parallel to the gauge’s lines of tangency at the null points respectively.
Reduces friction and counteracts/balances out the skating force.
Use our durable, firm, and nonslip protractor to keep your stylus in line with the grooves when playing your records. This is an easy way to optimize your cartridge by aligning it to each rectangular grid. For detailed instructions, check the back of the protractor.
An adequately aligned cartridge reduces distortion, prevents severe damage to the vinyl's grooves, reduces friction, and counteracts/balances out the skating force. Enjoy stronger higher and lower tones, bass, and dynamics.
