AS-VERTERE-SABREMM High-End Moving Magnet Cartridge
Introduction
Vertere Sabre Hi-End Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge is designed & manufactured in the UK to exacting standards to provide you with many years of musical enjoyment.
Installation
It is important to handle the cartridge with care and to have it correctly
installed for optimum performance. Extreme care must be taken when fitting the
tonearm cartridge tags to the Sabre output pins. Please observe polarity and
colour.
Mount the cartridge to the tonearm head-shell using the Vertere thumb screws
provided. Please ensure the stylus guard is on to protect the stylus and the
cantilever while handling or fitting the cartridge. Hold the cartridge body
when fitting the screws in place and take care not to drop the cartridge
accidentally. Do not fully tighten these yet to assist final alignment. Remove
and fit the stylus guard as shown. Holding from the sides and gently rocking
the guard to release the four locking pins.
IMPORTANT
Sabre’s generator fixing screws shown in the picture are factory fitted and
critically adjusted.
DO NOT touch or attempt to adjust these four generator fixing screws.
Generator Fixing Screws
Always follow the tonearm manufacturer’s instructions and use their
supplied alignment protractor. Set the tracking weight initially to
approximately 1.9/2.0g and adjust the VTA so that the head-shell/cartridge are
parallel to the surface of the record. Using the tonearm alignment
protractor, check the cartridge alignment and adjust as required and finally
tighten the thumb screws. Recheck and reset the tracking weight to 2.0g and
apply anti-skate force as required.
NOTE
VTA, tracking weight and anti-skate force settings can be fined tuned using a suitable Test Record and listening. However, final settings should not fall outside of Vertere’s recommended ranges – If in doubt, consult your authorised Vertere re distributor, retailer or Vertere.
