Measure it DS Universal Stylus Tracking Gauge
Measure it DS is a lightweight precision tracking force gauge. It is designed to work with each and every possible cartridge and tonearm combination, independent of weight, shape or design. Other, cheaper scales can be quite unhandy and unnecessary difficult to use with certain cartridges. Especially as you go up a few levels, and reach heavier and bigger high-end pickups. Measure it DS makes your set-up life easier and is the perfect choice to be safe for the future. The scale comes factory calibrated for highly accurate tracking force measurements, and the non-magnetic scale surface is especially suitable for MC cartridges. Key Features: Pre-calibrated at factory for ultimate precision Scale design optimized to work with any cartridge and tonearm combination Non-magnetic scale surface especially important for MC cartridges Auto off after 60 seconds 2x AAA batteries included LCD screen with back lighting
This is a basic tool for the measuring of cartridge tracking force weight and alignment. Setting up the tracking force of a pre-installed cartridge on a Pro-Ject deck is a very simple process. Simply place the stylus tip on the desired weight, then move the tonearm counterweight forward and backward on the back of the tonearm until the protractor is level (it is pivoted like a see-saw in the middle). Key Features: Simple yet effective turntable tool Measures tracking force and cartridge alignment Supplied with a range of Pro-Ject turntables
This digital gauge is VPI's most accurate gauge for calculating tracking force. It is simple to use and mimics the height of where a record would sit on the platter.
Van Den Hul's digital tracking force meter gets your settings right with utmost precision. It is a valuable tool for the devoted enthusiast. With superlative accuracy and an appropriate range, this little meter stands out among the competition. It's easily calibrated and features a switchable display backlight and an auto power-off. Operating instructions are included. Place the meter on your turntable platter, lower the cartridge's stylus gently on the center of the meter's weighting platter and check if your tracking force needs to be set.
The Ortofon tracking force gauge is a simple budget tool for turntables that is used to determine the stylus tracking force. The tracking force is the downward pressure that is applied by the weight of the tonearm through the cartridge stylus and onto the vinyl record. It is important to set the proper tracking force in order to maximize the playback performance and to reduce the risk of mistracking or causing excessive record wear. Check for the manufacturers recommended settings for your stylus tracking force. The Ortofon tracking force gauge tool is a small plastic pivot type scale that will accurately measure tracking force between 1.25g and 4g.
