Optimum Load: 47,000 ohms resistance in parallel with 200 to 300 picofarads capacitance
per channel. Load resistance can be up to 70,000 ohms with almost no audible change in
frequency response. Total capacitance includes both tone arm wiring and amplier input
circuit.
Certication: Conforms to European Union directives, eligible to bear CE marking; meets
European Union EMC Immunity Requirements: EN 50 082-1, 1992.
Net Weight: 7.3 grams including standard 1/2 in. mounting adapter. Without adapter,
cartridge is compatible with pre-set P-Mount arm.
THIS CARTRIDGE FEATURES THE SHURE BIRADIAL NUDE DIAMOND TIP
Its contact area is longer and narrower
than the traditional spherical tip-groove
contact area. This results in dramatic
reduction of both harmonic distortion
and inter modulation distortion.
To clean the stylus, use a soft brush
with alcohol or an alcohol-distilled
water solution. Brush only from back to
front as shown. Commercial cleaning
solutions may cause stylus damage.

Mounting
Tracking Force in a P-Mount Arm
After installing the cartridge, it is not usually necessary to adjust the tracking force in a
pre-set arm.
Skating Compensation (where applicable)
Set the skating compensation mechanism according to the tone arm manufacturer’s
instructions.
To Preserve Stylus Life
Protect stylus with stylus guard when dusting turntable
Regulate tone arm set-down to prevent stylus from striking edge of turntable or record.
Do not handle tone arm while record is being played. Use cuing device if available.
If manual set-down is necessary, release arm as soon as stylus engages groove
Do not activate arm without record on turntable.
Do not use damaged records.
Make certain cartridge is correctly mounted in tone arm and stylus is properly inserted in
cartridge.
Use appropriate vertical tracking force for each cartridge and stylus.

SHURE-SME MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS: To mount the car-
tr~dgein the Shure-SME Precision Pickup Arm, Model 3009 and
3012, refer to the paragraphs on Cartridge Installation and Balanc-
ing in the instruction Manual supplied with the pickup arms.
OPERATION: Recommended needle forces for optimum results
are listed under "Specifications." Forces greater than the indi-
cated "nraxinrum" should not be used.
CONNECTIONS
4-LEAD STEREO CONNECTION: Connect "hot" lead of right
rhannel to terminal "R" and shield or ground lead of right chan-
nel to terminal
"RG." Connect "hot" lead of left channel to ter;;
111inal "L" and shield or ground lead of left channel to "LG.
To prevent "ground loops" and hum, no common connection
should be used at cartridge terminals.
MONAURAL CONNECTION: For single channel reproduction of
Monaural or Stereo recordings, connect "hot" lead to both "R"
and
"L" terminals and connect ground or shield lead to both
gr,ound terminals marked "RG" and "LG.
Suggestions for Cleaning Your Stylus
To clean the stylus, use a camel's-hair brush (No. 2 size or
sr~lallt.r) dipped lightly in alcohol. The alcohol will remove any
sludge dcxposits which may have coated the stylus tip. The brush
1)r~istlesshould be trimmed to a length no longer than 1/4 inch.
Always
brush the stylus with a forward movement from the rear
(tr~,~ninalend of the cartridge) to the front.
Never brush or wipe
tl~estylus from front to back or side to side.
CAUTION: Do not make solder
( onnectlons to cartr~dgete~ml-
nals Make all sc~lderconni.ctrons
to terminal jacks provided before
slin~inethem over the terminals.
