Pick the Geometry That Suits Your Listening

Align it DS3 is one of the easiest to use & most effective alignment tools available. It allows for clear visibility and simple alignment of your phono cartridge- no matter the cartridge alignment geometry you choose. It comes with detailed instructions and a theoretical background to help you internalize the principles and align your phono cartridge with more conviction and to heightened degree of precision.

Align it DS3 illustrates the various tonearm arcs from outer to inner null-points. This is helpful for beginners and professionals alike as it makes alignment a more visual process to understand & implement. The DS3 eliminates the need to repeatedly rotate your turntable‘s platter when toggling between null-points. It remains in a fixed position and you need not concern yourself with getting the perfect position each time; this is the advantage to showing the tonearm arcs atop the protractor itself.

The 3 Most Widely Accepted Geometries

  • Baerwald: an excellent all-arounder that many listeners use as a starting point
  • Löfgren B: optimizes tracking in the middle area of your vinyl LP resulting in the lowest average distortion
  • Stevenson: optimizes tracking at the beginning & end of the record side (often used by collectors of 7″ 45rpm records)

Align it DS3 is suitable for all Pro-Ject turntables and many other manufacturer‘s turntables and tonearms depending on their pivot-to-spindle distance.
