Ortofon Stylus Pressure Gauge/Scale
The Ortofon stylus force gauge is simple to use:
1. Very gently, rest the cartridge stylus (needle) into the grooved guide track at the desired tracking force marking.
2. Next, adjust the counter-weight or tonearm pressure dials until the Ortofon pivot scale is in balance. The scale on the force gauge is marked in gram.
The Stylus pressure gauge, known as the Ortofon tracking force gauge, is an affordable and straightforward device used in turntables. Its purpose is to determine the amount of pressure applied by the stylus onto the vinyl record.
The tracking force refers to the downward pressure exerted on the record by the weight of the tonearm and cartridge stylus. Setting the appropriate tracking force is crucial for optimal playback performance and to minimize the risks of mistracking or excessive record wear.
To ensure accurate results, consult the manufacturer's recommended settings for your stylus tracking force. The Ortofon tracking force gauge is a compact plastic scale with a pivot design, enabling precise measurements within the range of 1.25 g to 4 g.
