THE COLOR CODE OF THE WIRES IS AS FOLLOWS:
RED = right hot WHITE = left hot
GREEN = right ground BLUE = left ground
IF YOUR PHONO SECTION INVERTS PHASE, THE HOT BECOMES
THE GROUND COLOR
The arm tube should be on its side on the foam pad when doing this.
Using tweezers or fine tipped pliers, grip the center of the red wire's connector (do not grip the
wire) and push it onto the cartridge's right hot terminal pin. In the same way, connect each of
the remaining connectors to its respective cartridge terminal. Do not push the connectors all
the way on, as this could damage the cartridge. Always back up the cartridge with your finger
when pushing on the clips.
B. THE COUNTERWEIGHT:
The JMW tone arm comes with one large dropped counterweight installed on the rear shaft of
the tonearm. For most cartridges you will only need this large weight. The counterweight is
held in position by a setscrew.
Pick up the arm tube, taking care not to strain or damage the wire and Lemo connector.
For now, position the large counterweight as close to the bearing housing as it will go (toward
the front of the arm) but not touching the balance ring. The object here is to balance the arm
while keeping the counterweight as close to the bearing housing as possible. This results in
the least inertia for a given cartridge weight.
C. BALANCING ARM: TRACKING FORCE AND AZIMUTH
Place the arm tube assembly on the lower bearing, taking care not to strain or damage the 4-
color wire and Lemo connector. Place the arm in its rest.
At the rear of the arm base assembly is the connector block. Plug the Lemo connector into its
receptacle on top of the block. Notice that the connector can plug in only one way. Align the
red dots on the arms plug with the red dot on the receptacle. Push gently, do not force the
plug.
Depending on the twist given to the wire when the plug was inserted into the box, the arm will
have a tendency to swing inward or outward when it is in neutral horizontal balance. Later on,
you will adjust the wire's twist to provide slight anti-skating compensation.
Make sure the turntable is level. Refer to your turntable instructions and use a bubble level to
check level. In most cases, the best place to put the level is on the platter.
With a unipivot arm it is particularly important to level the turntable.
This insures that the damping fluid will not even come close to
overflowing its well.
