a suitable phono stage.
Connect as follows: Red=right channel. Black=left channel.
If your amplifier does not have an integrated phono stage
you will require an external stage.*
Connection to the amplifier
To set up the RB220 tonearm, screw on the balance
weight (A) along its shaft (B) until the stylus is floating
1mm clear of a record on the platter. Tracking force can
now be applied, half a turn of the weight (180 degrees) = 1
gram of force. Turn the weight to the suggested force of
your cartridge manufacturer’s guidelines. The suggested
force for the supplied Carbon cartridge is 2 grams (360
degrees). Use the plastic plugs on the weight as a guide.
Bias adjustment is automatic on the RB220 tonearm.
