Using the 100Sounds RC - AL100 record cartridge is easy. First, make sure it's properly attached to your turntable using the included headshell. When you're ready to play a record, gently place the stylus on the track. Thanks to the rounded needle tip, queuing tracks is simple - just move the tonearm to the right spot. For best results, keep the needle pressure at 2g as specified. When you're done using the cartridge, put it back in the protective tin/can case. This case is highly air - tight and protects the cartridge from moisture and damage. Make sure the case is closed properly. To maintain the cartridge, clean the stylus regularly with a stylus brush. Also, avoid touching the needle with your fingers as the oils can affect the sound quality. If you notice any issues with the sound or performance, it might be time to have the cartridge checked by a professional. Enjoy your records with the 100Sounds RC - AL100!
