  • Cartridge overhang

    The distance by which the stylus tip extends beyond the turntable spindle when the cartridge is correctly aligned, referenced to the tonearm mounting distance.
    It is a parameter of tonearm/cartridge geometry and, together with offset angle and effective length, serves to minimise tangential tracking error across the specified playback radius.

  • Offset angle

    The offset refers to the angle at which the cartridge is rotated in the headshell relative to the longitudinal axis of the tonearm. This angle is intended to ensure that the stylus is tangential to the groove and is created by the geometry of the headshell or the tonearm (J- and S-shaped tonearms).
