Operazzjoni

Once installed, the MAG M27BS cartridge converts the physical vibrations from the record groove into electrical signals, which are then amplified by your turntable's pre-amplifier and audio system. Ensure your turntable is level and the tonearm is balanced correctly for optimal performance.

• Daqq ta' Rekords: Gently lower the tonearm onto the record using the cueing lever. Avoid dropping the tonearm directly onto the record, as this can damage the stylus and record.
• Forza ta' Traċċar: The recommended tracking force of 3.0g ensures the stylus maintains proper contact with the record groove, reducing wear and improving sound quality.

Manutenzjoni

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your stylus and preserve the sound quality of your records.
