2. คุณสมบัติหลัก

• Moving Coil (MC) Design: Provides high-fidelity audio reproduction with excellent transient response.
• Nude Elliptical Diamond: Mounted on an aluminum cantilever for precise tracking and detailed sound.
• แม่เหล็กนีโอไดเมียม: Utilized for optimal output and dynamic performance.
• Durable Body Material: Constructed from special ABS (Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene) thermoplastic and aluminum, offering a lightweight, impact-resistant, and scratch-resistant surface.
• Pure 4-Nines Copper Coil Wire: Ensures excellent signal conductivity and purity.
• Low Internal Impedance: Enhances compatibility with a wide range of preamplifiers and transformers.
• Easy Mounting and Alignment: Designed with right angles, straight lines, and clear stylus visibility to facilitate correct installation on most tonearms.

3. การตั้งค่าและการติดตั้ง

Proper installation of your Ortofon Quintet Blue cartridge is crucial for optimal performance. It is recommended to use a quality phono pre-amplifier with adjustable resistive and capacitive loading, as well as gain options, to fully realize the cartridge's potential.

1. การแกะกล่อง: Carefully remove the cartridge from its packaging. Handle it by the body, avoiding contact with the stylus.
2. Mounting to Headshell: Attach the cartridge to your turntable's headshell using the provided screws and nuts. Ensure a secure fit without overtightening.
3. การเดินสายไฟ: Connect the four color-coded wires from the tonearm to the corresponding pins on the cartridge. Ensure correct polarity (Red: Right Hot, Green: Right Ground, White: Left Hot, Blue: Left Ground).
4. การจัดตำแหน่ง: Use a protractor to accurately align the cartridge within the headshell. This involves adjusting overhang, azimuth (vertical alignment of the stylus), and Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA) to ensure the stylus tracks the record groove correctly.
5. การปรับแรงติดตาม: Set the tracking force according to the cartridge's specifications (refer to the 'Specifications' section). Use a reliable digital tracking force gauge for accuracy.
6. การปรับตั้งระบบป้องกันการลื่นไถล: Adjust the anti-skate mechanism on your tonearm to counteract the inward force that pulls the tonearm towards the center of the record. This helps maintain even pressure on both groove walls.
7. Connection to Pre-ampเครื่องฟอก: Connect your turntable's output to a suitable phono pre-amplifier. Ensure the pre-amplifier is set to the Moving Coil (MC) input and adjust gain and loading settings as recommended by your pre-amplifier's manual or through experimentation for best sound.

If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified audio technician or your turntable's manual.

4. การดำเนินการ

Once installed and properly set up, operating the Ortofon Quintet Blue cartridge is straightforward. Always ensure your records are clean before playback to prevent damage to both the record and the stylus.

• Record Placement: Carefully place the record on the turntable platter.
• การให้สัญญาณ: Use the tonearm's cueing lever to gently lower the stylus onto the record's lead-in groove. Avoid dropping the tonearm manually, as this can damage the stylus or record.
• การเล่นซ้ำ: ปล่อยให้แผ่นเสียงเล่นจนจบ
• การเล่นจบลงแล้ว: At the end of the record, use the cueing lever to lift the tonearm and return it to its rest.

บันทึก: The Quintet Blue cartridge, like many high-performance cartridges, may not perform optimally with heavily warped records. The cartridge's flat bottom design may cause the stylus to bounce out of the groove on severely warped vinyl. Always use clean, flat records for the best listening experience.

5. การบำรุงรักษา

Regular maintenance will prolong the life and performance of your Ortofon Quintet Blue cartridge.

• การทำความสะอาดหัวเข็ม: Gently clean the stylus before or after each play using a dedicated stylus brush or fluid. Always brush from back to front (from the cantilever towards the stylus tip). Never brush side-to-side.
• Cartridge Body Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the cartridge body. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
• ฝาปิดป้องกันฝุ่น: Keep your turntable's dust cover closed when not in use to protect the cartridge and record from dust and debris.
• การตรวจสอบหัวเข็ม: Periodically inspect the stylus for wear or damage using a magnifying glass. A worn stylus can damage your records and degrade sound quality.
• การจัดการที่เหมาะสม: Always handle the tonearm and cartridge with care. Avoid sudden movements or impacts.
