3. การตั้งค่าและการติดตั้ง
Follow these steps to properly install your new headshell and cartridge onto your turntable's tonearm:
- หมดแรง: Ensure your turntable is powered off and unplugged from the mains electricity supply before beginning installation.
- Remove Old Headshell (if applicable): Carefully unscrew and remove the existing headshell from your turntable's tonearm. Store it safely if you intend to reuse it.
- Attach New Headshell: Gently screw the MagLite G headshell onto the tonearm. Rotate the locking collar clockwise until it is finger-tight. Do not overtighten.
- เชื่อมต่อสายไฟ: The cartridge wires are color-coded. Connect them to the corresponding pins on the tonearm. The standard color code is:
- Red (R+): Right Channel Hot
- White (L+): Left Channel Hot
- Green (R-): Right Channel Ground
- Blue (L-): Left Channel Ground
- แขนโทนอาร์มแบบสมดุล: Refer to your turntable's instruction manual for specific guidance on balancing the tonearm. This typically involves adjusting the counterweight until the tonearm floats level.
- ตั้งค่าแรงกดติดตาม: The recommended tracking force for this cartridge is 3.0g (with a range of 2.5g to 3.5g). Use a stylus force gauge (if available) or follow your turntable's instructions to set the tracking force accurately. Incorrect tracking force can cause damage to records and the stylus.
- ตั้งค่าระบบป้องกันการลื่นไถล: Adjust the anti-skate setting on your tonearm according to your turntable's manual, typically matching the tracking force value.
4. คู่มือการใช้งาน
Once installed and adjusted, your MagLite G headshell and cartridge are ready for use. Follow these general guidelines for playing records:
- Ensure records are clean and free of dust before playing.
- Use the tonearm lift mechanism to gently lower the stylus onto the record's lead-in groove. Avoid dropping the tonearm manually.
- When finished, use the tonearm lift to raise the stylus and return the tonearm to its rest.
- Always handle the tonearm and headshell with care to prevent damage to the stylus.
5. การบำรุงรักษา
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your stylus and cartridge, ensuring optimal sound quality.
- การทำความสะอาดหัวเข็ม: Regularly clean the stylus using a soft stylus brush, brushing gently from back to front (in the direction of play). Do not brush side-to-side. Use a dedicated stylus cleaning fluid sparingly if necessary.
- ตัวตลับหมึก: Keep the cartridge body clean and free of dust. Use a soft, dry cloth.
- การเปลี่ยนหัวเข็ม: The diamond stylus will wear over time, typically after 500-1000 hours of play, depending on record condition and tracking force. A worn stylus can damage records and degrade sound quality. Replace the stylus when signs of wear or degradation in sound are noticed. Replacement styli for the M27BU cartridge are available from audio retailers.
