Cartridge downforce adjustment (Pro-Ject Evolution tonearms)
Remove the transport lock (3) from the tonearm. Store it in the original packaging so they are
available for any future transportation.
Pushing carefully, turn the counterweight (7) onto the rear end of the tonearm tube (2), so the
downforce scale (7a) shows towards the front of the player. Lower the armlift and position the
cartridge in the space between arm rest and platter. Carefully rotate the counterweight (7)
until the armtube is balanced (floating level). The arm should return to the balanced position
if it is moved up or down. Do not forget to remove the cartridge stylus guard if fitted.
Once the arm is correctly balanced, return it to the rest (3). Hold the counterweight (7)
without moving it, and gently retate the downforce scale ring (7a) until the zero is in line with
the anti-skating prong (8). Check whether the arm is still balanced.
Rotate the counterweight counter-clockwise (seen from the front) to adjust the downforce
according to the cartridge manufacturer's recommendations. One mark on the scale represents
1 mN (= 0.1g / 0.1 Pond) of downforce.
Tonearm Pro-Ject 12cc Evolution: The counterweights (7) supplied are suitable for cartridges
weighing between 4-7g, 6-9g, 8-12g or 10-15g.
Adjust the downforce prior to installing the anti-skating weight.
