Essential Performance Breakdown
Tonearm Height Adjustment for Pro-Ject Turntables
What is the VTA Shim for?
The VTA Shim is designed to adjust the height of the tonearm on Pro-Ject Debut and Essential turntables. It is particularly useful for ensuring optimal performance when upgrading to certain platters or mats.
Compatibility
This VTA Shim is compatible with: - Debut I, II, and III models - Debut Carbon - Debut Carbon EVO - Essential I, II, and III (only in standard configurations)
Why Do You Need It?
The Pro-Ject Debut and Essential turntables do not have an adjustable tonearm height. If you upgrade to an acrylic platter or a thicker mat, the vertical tracking angle (VTA) may become misaligned. This misalignment can hamper the cartridge's ability to read the record accurately, resulting in missed details and reduced audio quality.
Product Details
- Thickness: 1.5mm
How to Use
To correct the VTA, simply install the VTA Shim. The installation requires: - A Philips #1 screwdriver - A 5.5mm nut driver wrench
Installation Considerations
Installing the tonearm can be a complex process. We recommend either consulting a professional or being confident in your abilities to avoid potential damage to your turntable.
