Anti-Skate Calibration Record is the ideal method for calibrating the anti-skate function of your turntable. It allows you to prevent problems on your turntable such as tracking errors, distortion, and record wear. This 12-inch record-sized calibration tool is made of high-quality 2 mm thick plexiglass, ensuring durability and precision for all your calibration needs.

To ensure the calibration record stays in perfect condition, it comes with its own sleeve for safekeeping. This makes it easy to store with the rest of your vinyl collection, ensuring it's always at hand when you need it.

Its 30 cm diameter size, which ensures that the tonearm gives the same result at all distances from the center. This makes calibration easy and precise, regardless of where the tonearm is positioned on the record.

- Make sure your needle is in the correct down-weight. You can get information about the weight in the needle user manual or package. If there is no reliable information about the needle, you can start the calibration with an average weight of 2 - 2.5 grams.

- Clean the record and place it on the turntable plateau and start the turntable.

- Slowly drop the needle anywhere on the plate. The arm may tend to slide towards the center or outward rapidly. In such a case, be prepared to lift the needle from the plate.

- Change the Anti-Skate setting so that the needle does not slip in or out of the center of the plate.

- If the arm does not slide in any direction while the plate continues to rotate, you have reached the correct Anti-Skate setting.



---WARNING----

It is important that the needle weight is not too much or too little when using the calibration plate. If it is too much, the needle can scrape the plate, if it is too little, it can skip the records with sound channels.

What is Anti-Skate?

The sound channels on the records are engraved spirally. The needle reading the plate by applying equal pressure to the right and left channels prevents the quality of the sound heard and the abrasion of one channel of the plate by the needle. The force known in physics as 'centrifugal force' makes the needle tend to go to the center. The setting that compensates for this is called Anti-Skate. The anti-skate setting applies a counterforce so that the needle manages to stay in the middle of the left and right sound channels throughout its travel.
