User & Installation Manual
roksan.com

Thank you for purchasing this Roksan Dana
cartridge.
Before using the product, read through this installation
manual to ensure that you will use and t the product
correctly.
Please keep this manual for future reference.
HOW TO INSTALL
1. If the Dana is to replace a different cartridge, remove this
rst.
2. To t a new Dana cartridge, move the stylus guard into
place and detach the stylus from the cartridge by holding
the cartridge body and stylus housing and pulling them
apart vertically as shown below.

3. Mount the new cartridge onto the head shell of the
tonearm using the nuts and bolts provided.
NOTE: The nuts should be on the top of the
headshell as in the pictures opposite
4. Connect head shell lead tips to the cartridge terminals of
the same colour.
NOTE: Never apply heat (e.g. from soldering iron)
to the output wires.
5. Ret the stylus and lift the guard in preparation for
calibration.
6. Use a tonearm alignment protractor, to adjust the cartridge
into the correct position along the headshell (overhang).
7. Using a stylus balance gauge, adjust the tracking force
to 2g.
8. Adjust the tonearm height so that the bottom surface
of the head shell and the record surface are parallel as
seen from the side when the stylus is resting on a record.
Improper arm height may cause the body of the cartridge/
stylus assembly to make contact with the record and could
impair audio quality or damage the record.
