W ell, there's no place like home. Home is where my turntable is and everyone should have a two point protractor. In Use: The trick is to have the cartridge mounted so that the needle aligns perfectly on BOTH dots without moving the protractor.


What you may need to do is mount the cartridge a bit loose and slightly move it forward or back and see how it aligns on both points. You know you have it perfect when both points are perfect without moving the protractor. It takes time and patience to get it just right, but the results are worth it! Click here for cartridge alignment tool. Click here to view the two point protractor in action. Excel Spreadsheet Versions!


Y ou'll find an Excel file at the link located below this article. It is a two page spreadsheet-one page for L�fgren "A" alignment and one page for L�fgren "B" alignment.


Interestingly, from all the reading I've done recently on the subject, it seems that Professor Erik L�fgren was actually the person who developed modern tonearm alignment geometry back in Baerwald, Stevenson, and others came along later, and each published cartridge alignment protractor free download geometry equations which have been shown to be identical to those published by L�fgren, cartridge alignment protractor free download, and yet they included no recognition that L�fgren had already published the same equations.


Baerwald even lists L�fgren's paper in his references. At the core of L�fgren's alignments lies the weighted tracking error curve, which is essentially tracking error per unit of groove radius.


This weighted curve places more emphasis on tracking error for inner grooves than for outer grooves, which is representative of the actual distortion caused by tracking error. The difference between the two alignments is that L�fgren's "A" alignment minimizes the weighted tracking error curve directly while L�fgren's "B" alignment minimizes the area underneath the squared weighted tracking error curve.


The advantage of L�fgren's "B" alignment is lower tracking distortion during more playing time at the expense of slightly higher distortion at the beginning and end of the record.


L�fgren's "A" alignment minimizes and equalizes the distortion peaks at the innermost groove, in-between the null-points, and cartridge alignment protractor free download the outermost groove. Okay, so how does the spreadsheet work?


Well, the easiest way to operate the spreadsheet is by using the L�fgren "A" or "B" calculator at the top of the spreadsheet page. The cartridge alignment protractor free download has three yellow input cells and six green output cells.


Inputs are effective length, innermost groove, and outermost groove. Outputs are angular offset, linear offset, stylus overhang, pivot-to-spindle mounting distance, inner null-point, and outer null-point. The default or initial input values are The output values change in accordance with the equations listed in the instruction area below the graph when new numbers are entered into any of the yellow input cells, cartridge alignment protractor free download.


The graph is a visual representation of the columns of numbers on the left, which are a function of three specific tonearm parameters, effective length, angular offset, and stylus overhang cartridge alignment protractor free download displayed in the tan colored cells, A3, B3, and C3. These are also spreadsheet input cells, but initially they are linked to the corresponding calculator cells, I3, O3, and Q3 so the calculator controls the entire spreadsheet.


However, the tan colored cells may easily be unlinked from the calculator simply by entering numbers into them. If this is done, the calculator operates autonomously from the rest of the spreadsheet. The graph and the rest of the spreadsheet are controlled by inputs to cells A3, cartridge alignment protractor free download, B3, and C3 only.


One reason for unlinking the calculator might be to evaluate a tonearm's geometry by inputting effective length, angular offset, and stylus overhang directly into cells A3, B3, and C3, respectively. You'll find some interesting designs floating around out there with alignment geometry's based on something entirely different from either L�fgren "A" or "B.


For advanced spreadsheet users, the Excel "Solver" function is a very powerful tool that can be used advantageously with this spreadsheet. For example, suppose you wish to evaluate Steven Rochlin's alignment tool, cartridge alignment protractor free download, which has alignment null-points at approximately 70mm and mm. You could ask "Solver" to find new innermost and outermost groove radii that would yield Steven's alignment null-points, and you would also get a graphical representation of Steven's tracking error and distortion curves.


There are many ways "Solver" can be used to enhance and expand the capabilities of complex spreadsheets. As a word of caution, only six cells on the spreadsheet should be used for entering numbers.


They are the three yellow cells, I3, J3, cartridge alignment protractor free download, and K3 in the calculator at the top of each page, and the three tan cells, A3, B3, and C3, which control the graph and the rest of the spreadsheet.


Please do not enter numbers into any other cells; otherwise you may destroy important equations that enable the spreadsheet to function properly. As an additional precaution, I recommend you archive a copy of the spreadsheet and always use a different working copy, just in case something goes wrong and you want to return to the original.


Other than that, have fun calculating. Quick Links. Videos Enjoy the Music. All rights reserved.

2. Cut out the Cartridge Alignment Protractor and carefully cut out the spindle hole (S). 3. Place the protractor on the spindle. 4. With the stylus protector removed, gently place the stylus on point A. 5. Rotate the cartridge so that the sides of the cartridge are parallel with the grid lines (C). 6. 5/30/ · On this page you can download free cartridge alignment protractors for quick and accurate alignment of cartridge / stylus overhang, offset and null points. We have truly universal two-point tools such as the Stupid Protractor, and tonearm specific types for Audiocraft, Helius, Heybrook, Linn, Rega and Thorens, all with easy to follow. THE REGA BAERWALD ARC PROTRACTOR download this protractor oops, impossible for me to set up my cartridge using your protractor: two possibilities. I did my best with the included protractor to align the cart properly, but the Technics doesn’t quite use a Baerwald alignment. I wound up with.
