Adjustable 33 and 45 RPM Speeds33 RPM records are typically 12 inches in diameter, while 45 RPM records are usually 7 inches. Different speeds require different tracking forces to ensure the stylus accurately follows the grooves in the record.
Replaceable Magnetic CartridgeOffers excellent value for money and delivers impressive sound quality. The ATN3600L typically comes with an elliptical diamond stylus, providing excellent tracking ability and durability.
12-Inch Full-Size Aluminum PlatterAluminum's excellent rigidity significantly reduces platter warping, enhancing sound clarity and detail. The heavier weight effectively suppresses resonance, improving turntable stability.
Adjustable CounterweightAllows you to fine-tune the tracking force for optimal sound reproduction, ensuring that you get the most out of your vinyl collection.
Aluminum Straight TonearmThe aluminum material's low density reduces tracking force on the stylus, improving sensitivity. Its high rigidity effectively suppresses resonance, reducing distortion.

12" Platter DiameterThe diameter of the turntable's platter, is the rotating platform where the record is placed. In this case, the diameter of the HQ-KZ018 record player is 12 inches.
Tonearm
Static Balanced, Straight-TypeThis means the tonearm is balanced when it's in a horizontal position, and the pivot point is a straight, vertical line. This design helps to reduce friction and improve sound quality.
Carbon Fiber Tonearm MaterialCarbon fiber is exceptionally strong and stiff relative to its weight. This combination allows for a tonearm that is both lightweight and highly rigid. A lighter tonearm reduces tracking error and improves transient response, resulting in a more detailed and accurate sound reproduction.
Cueing LeverA lever that is used to manually lift the tonearm away from the record. This is often used to prevent damage to the stylus when starting or stopping playback.
36 AWG Litz Cable / 7 Strand Tonearm WireThis refers to the wiring used in the tonearm. 36 AWG is a measure of the wire's thickness, and "Litz" refers to a type of stranded wire that reduces skin effect and improves high-frequency response. 7-strand means there are 7 individual wires bundled together to form a single cable.
0.74 oz (21.1 g) Effective Tonearm MassThis is the weight of the tonearm, which affects how the tonearm tracks the record and interacts with the cartridge. A lower mass typically allows for better tracking and higher frequencies.
0.76 inches (19.2 mm) OverhangOverhang refers to the horizontal distance between the stylus tip and the vertical line that passes through the tonearm pivot. This measurement is important for proper cartridge alignment.
8.6 inches (218.5 mm) Effective Tonearm LengthThis is the distance from the tonearm pivot to the stylus tip. This measurement is also important for cartridge alignment and tracking.
Cartridge
2.5 mA Output VoltageThis refers to the electrical signal produced by the cartridge when it vibrates in response to the grooves on a vinyl record. A higher output voltage typically means less amplification is needed from the phono preamp.
20Hz-20kHz Frequency ResponseThis specifies the range of frequencies that the cartridge can accurately reproduce. A wider frequency response generally results in a more natural and detailed sound.
18dB Channel BalanceThis indicates how well the left and right channels of the cartridge match in terms of output level. A lower number means better channel balance, which is crucial for stereo imaging.
＞18dB Channel SeparationThis measures the isolation between the left and right channels at specific frequencies. Higher numbers indicate better channel separation, reducing crosstalk between channels.
3.5±0.5g Recommended Tracking ForceTracking force refers to the downward pressure applied by the stylus onto the record. The specified range indicates the optimal tracking force for this cartridge to ensure proper contact with the record groove.
To remove old stylus (needle), hold the cartridge in one hand, grasp the plastic stylus housing with thumb and forefinger, and pull away from the cartridge. The stylus assembly comes away at a slight angle, as indicated by the arrow.
To install replacement stylus, insert the new stylus assembly into the cartridge at a slight angle, so the hook at the end of the stylus fits into the slot in the cartridge body. The stylus assembly should click into place when fully seated on the cartridge. The stylus must be fully seated on the body for proper operation.
