4.3. Tonearm Balancing and Tracking Force Adjustment
The Debut EVO 2 comes with a pre-mounted Pick it MM EVO cartridge. Follow these steps to balance the tonearm and set the tracking force:
- Remove the stylus protector from the cartridge.
- Lower the tonearm lift.
- Carefully rotate the counterweight on the rear of the tonearm until the tonearm floats freely and is perfectly balanced horizontally.
- Once balanced, hold the counterweight steady and rotate the tracking force dial (the numbered ring on the front of the counterweight) to '0'.
- Rotate the entire counterweight (including the dial) counter-clockwise until the dial shows the recommended tracking force for the Pick it MM EVO cartridge, which is typically 1.8 grams. Refer to the cartridge specifications for precise values.

4.4. Aġġustament Kontra l-Iskjatar
The anti-skate mechanism prevents the tonearm from being pulled towards the center of the record. The Debut EVO 2 uses a weight-on-string anti-skate system.
- Locate the small anti-skate weight and the anti-skate stub on the tonearm.
- Hang the loop of the anti-skate weight's string over the second groove of the anti-skate stub. This setting is generally suitable for the pre-mounted cartridge.
