The Audio-Technica AT-CAP1 is a Baerwald cartridge alignment protractor for turntable owners setting up a phono cartridge on a tonearm with an effective length of 222–250 mm (8.7–9.8 in). It helps set the cartridge’s offset angle and null points for proper alignment.
Recommended For
- Vinyl listeners replacing or installing a cartridge on a tonearm whose effective length is 222–250 mm and who want to set Baerwald alignment at both null points.
- Turntable owners troubleshooting inner-groove distortion who are prepared to adjust cartridge position and angle, then recheck both alignment points.
- Hands-on record collectors who install different cartridges and want a physical, spindle-mounted guide for setting cartridge alignment rather than estimating it by eye.
- Baerwald-alignment users who have checked their turntable’s tonearm specifications and confirmed the protractor’s effective-length range is appropriate for their setup.
