Anti-Skating Force (Bias)

The interaction of stylus friction and cartridge bearing

forces produces a force which pulls the tonearm to-

wards the centre of the record (referred to as skating

force). This force can be offset with the help of anti-skat-

ing force, which, in the case of the TP 90, is produced

by a magnet incorporated into the tonearm.

The anti-skating force is factory-adjusted. If neces-

sary, it can be readjusted with the help of an adjust-

ment screw. ➔ Fig. 10

Turn the adjustment screw anti-clockwise to increase,

and clockwise to decrease the anti-skating force. The

white dot above the adjustment screw indicates the set-

ting.

The amount of anti-skating force required depends

on the type of pick-up cartridge used. If you change

the cartridge for a different type, use a test record

to determine how much anti-skating force is required.
